In Dagenham East, UCL CEGE hosts two unique research environments: the Person-Environment-Activity Research Laboratory (PEARL) Welcome to PEARL | Person Environment Activity Research Laboratory - UCL – University College London, which investigates how people interact with their surroundings, and the Clean Active Ventilation Environments (CAVE) laboratory, focused on innovative ventilation systems. Controlled Active Ventilation Environment | Faculty of Engineering)

PEARL and CAVE are among the laboratories in the UK National Facility for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC). Housed in a £50M development in east London, PEARL fuses the arts, physical, clinical, life and engineering sciences, design and instrumentation in multisensorial environments constructed at 1:1 scale. CAVE is a large environmental chamber which allows investigation of simultaneous multiple ventilation environments to study how people respond to different temperature and humidity conditions.
