The Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) is a nine-campus research center headquartered at the University of California, Berkeley, working to develop, validate, and disseminate performance-based seismic design technologies for buildings and infrastructure to meet the diverse economic and safety needs of land owners and society.

The National Science Foundation-sponsored Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) are interdisciplinary centers located at universities all across the United States. In each ERC, academe and industry collaborate in pursuing strategic advances in complex engineered systems and systems-level technologies that have the potential to spawn whole new industries or to radically transform the product lines, p
