LUBBOCK, Texas - Housed at Reese Technology Center, The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH), a research and academic program of Texas Tech University (TTU), contains a series of environmental laboratories that previously served as engineering work bays when the center was still active as Reese Air Force Base. This particular building was previously an Air Force civil engineering building.
One of the laboratories needed a canopy hood and rooftop stack system to capture and exhaust odors and fumes created during the research experiments. Previously, the university's physical plant engineering department had built its own custom hood stacks on site, but limited space, funding, and time prompted the project estimator at TTU to look into other options.
