Miami University of Ohio
Hughes Hall is a 32-year-old Chemistry Department building at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The project enabled the University to update a significant campus building and also saved the University considerable money compared to the cost of building a new facility - $14.6 million in renovation costs versus an estimated $65 million to build new.

New Facility Unites Departments and Disciplines in One Complex
Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pa., looked to its younger faculty to help design a new science building that unites the sciences and expands and updates the academic facilities. The result is a college showcase that will remain current and flexible for generations to come, while blending aesthetically with the rest of the traditional liberal arts campus.

Emerging Cross-Disciplinary Science Requires a Specialized Facility
Over the past several decades, advances in technology have made smaller and smaller electronic devices possible and spurred the growth and development of the semiconductor industry. Recently, researchers from other disciplines have begun to apply semiconductor technology successfully to other situations. The result is a rapidly emerging cross-disciplinary field known by the collective label nanotechnology.
