The Powerhouse Energy Campus opens its doors to the public by providing guided tours of the state-of-the-art facilities and the groundbreaking research that takes place here. Tours are led by Energy Institute Student Ambassadors, and give the public a chance to see science and solutions in action.
Each year, over 100 groups visit our building.
Tours serve local K-12 schools, professional organizations, donors, NGOs, student organizations, current and prospective CSU students, researchers, and interested members of the local community. Tours typically last around an hour, and the content can be tailored to the needs of your group or organization!
If you are a K-12 group, please contact Mike Estergard to schedule a tour.
Arriving for your tour:
- Plan to arrive to the Powerhouse main entry lobby at least 10 minutes prior to the tour’s scheduled start time. We may not be able to accommodate late arrivals.
- Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes as they are required in some areas of the building on the tour.
- Parking information: Parking at the Powerhouse is limited, so please plan to park at one of our alternate lots (no pass/fee required). Both lots are just a short walk from the building. More information about parking alternatives and directions to Powerhouse can be found here.
