University of Minnesota Southeast Steam Plant

The Southeast Steam Plant, with its four iconic smokestacks, rises over the Mississippi River near the University of Minnesota’s East Bank campus. Once a coal-fired power station, the facility has been adapted into a cleaner-burning natural gas plant, continuing its role as a landmark in Minneapolis’s industrial skyline.
