Energy for what comes next

The demand is here

Artificial intelligence is rewriting how much power this country needs, how fast it needs it, and how securely it has to arrive. The Energy Innovation Center is Mizzou’s answer: a 116,000-square-foot research facility where scientists and engineers collaborate with policy, legal and economic experts. 

Generation. Storage. Transmission. Security. Policy. Not as separate disciplines — as one system.


Advised by leaders from Dow, Burns & McDonnell, and a former chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Make what comes next possible

This center exists because people committed to it before there was anything to see. That work continues — building out laboratory space, endowing faculty positions, equipping the labs, and supporting the graduate researchers who will run the science.
