      The Western Regional Superpave Center in the Civil Engineering Department is one of five centers established by the Federal Highway Administration to promote the implementation of superpave technology. The center is operated in partnership with the Nevada Department of Transportation, UNR, the Pacific Coast Strategic Highway Research Program at the University of California Berkeley and the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain User-Producer groups. Training of personnel from the pavement engineering community is one of the center's most important tasks.

      The Western Regional Superpave Center also assists highway agencies and contractors with new analysis procedures for pavement performance testing. It is equipped with $600, 000 worth of laboratory instruments to test the strength and weaknesses of asphalt pavements.
