Launching the Global Futures Laboratory
ASU is launching a new laboratory dedicated to keeping our planet habitable and enhancing the options for future generations to thrive.
The Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory is an ambitious plan to be a national hub for researchers, one that would house more than 500 faculty and 1,000 students to study climate change, public health, food security, energy systems and more.
