The WPI Fire Protection Engineering Department welcomes you to the new state-of-the-art fire laboratory at Gateway Park in Worcester, MA that was recently opened in 2013. This facility has new and enhanced full-scale and bench-scale capabilities including a 6 m. calorimeter hood rated for 3 MW fires, fire propagation apparatus, differential scanning calorimeter, and thermogravimetric analysis.
