A recently renovated soil lab at the University of Minnesota is now officially named the Michael M. and Nancy L. Heuer Soil Mechanics Laboratory. Named in honor of the Heuers’ contributions to this new facility, the lab is part of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo-Engineering (CEGE) at the University.

最初于1983年开业，实验室保持不变，使装修成为必需品。凭借新地板覆盖物，灯具，橱柜，油漆和衬砌的信息面板，土壤实验室终于得到了应得的关注。由于纵曲者提供的资金，土壤实验室将通过提供最新的空间来审查和测试土壤样本，并了解有关工程专业的更多信息，从CEGE计划中受益。

The Heuers have a long relationship with the University of Minnesota. They both attended the University as undergraduate students in the Civil Engineering program and met there. After graduation, Nancy pursued her transportation-focused career with several area firms culminating with SRF Consulting. Her notable projects include feasibility studies to upgrade Interstate-35W and Interstate-494. When Mike graduated he began a career at Braun Intertec, where he now serves as a Vice President. Over the years, Mike has worked on many University of Minnesota new and renovated buildings including: Walter Library, Northrop Auditorium, Physics and Nanotechnology Building, and the Tate Laboratory of Physics. They also have two “Gopher” daughters, Gillian (BA 2012) and Rachel (BS 2016).
