ACEC Minnesota Young Professionals: University of Minnesota Steam Plant Tour & Happy Hour

Ever wonder what it takes to keep a major university campus powered, heated, and running?

Join the ACEC Minnesota Young Professionals Committee for a behind-the-scenes tour of the University of Minnesota's Main Energy Plant. Get an up-close look at the infrastructure, equipment, and engineering that help keep campus operations moving.

It's a great opportunity to see engineering in action, ask questions, and connect with fellow young professionals outside the office.
