The Shock Physics Building

The Shock Physics Building is the first building on the WSU campus dedicated solely to research. It was completed in 2003 and houses unique, state-of-the-art research facilities.

The 33,000 square foot building, designed specifically for shock wave research, represents a unique facility among academic institutions. The research facilities and environment enhance the opportunity to conduct multidisciplinary research under one roof.

There are 17 laboratories within the Shock Physics Building. The research facilities include:

Impact Laboratory
Laser Shock Laboratory
Static High Pressure Laboratory
Compact Pulsed Power Facility
Computational Modeling Facility

  In each of the labs, state-of-the-art experimental diagnostics exist to measure changes in condense matter under dynamic and static high pressure, and non-linear wave propagation. In addition, excellent sample preparation and materials characterization facilities exist in the Institute.
