ECU Parker Sciences Building

Named in honor of famed Emerald City-born oceanographer William H. Parker, the ECU Sciences Building houses some of the top professors and students in the physical and para-sciences. To be sure, the other scientific disciplines are well represented at ECU, but they lack the (deserved) world-class reputation the more technologically and esoterically oriented departments have achieved.
ECU’s renowned excellence in the physical sciences helps attract and keep companies like KessKorp, Redshift Energies, and MarsTech, Inc. in Emerald City. Moreover, these companies have successfully partnered with ECU, giving promising students unparalleled real-world, hands-on opportunities to study the practical applications of their chosen fields. This gives the companies involved an inside track on hiring top talent, and ECU a powerful recruitment tool with which to attract talented young people.
The para-science programs at ECU reflect the legends, folklore, and seemingly supernatural events that have been part of the region since before the city’s founding.
Given the ever-present element of the paranormal in Emerald City life (even before the Silver Storm), it’s understandable that ECU has not only a cryptozoology program staffed with the leading Sasquatch experts in the country, but ECU’s parapsychology studies department is also highly regarded, as is (to a lesser degree) the exobiology program.
At any given hour, any number of potentially useful or destructive experiments are being conducted in the Parker Building. The city’s new superhuman champions may be needed there at any time to avert a disaster, or else avail themselves of the wealth of knowledge housed within.
