Bristol University Constructs Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information
Bristol University is constructing the £11 million Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information in the United Kingdom. Slated for completion in spring of 2008, the facility will feature advanced noise and vibration reduction technologies. The building will accommodate researchers from the disciplines of biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, mathematics, and physics engaged in nanotechnology and quantum computation research.
Argonne National Lab Plans Theory and Computing Sciences Facility
The U.S. Department of Energy announced on December 4, 2007 that a new Theory and Computing Sciences Building would be constructed at Argonne National Laboratory. The 200,000-sf research and engineering facility will house the extremely fast IBM Blue Gene/P computer and over 600 laboratory employees. Accommodating research in astrophysics, biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences, ecosystem simulation, and nuclear applications, the facility will collaborate with the Computation Institute, a partnership with the University of Chicago.
Harvard Opens LISE Nanotechnology Lab
Harvard University opened the $155 million Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering (LISE) in Cambridge in November of 2007. Sited mostly underground, the building includes a 10,000-sf cleanroom with advanced filtration capabilities and vibration-isolated architecture. Designed by Rafael Moneo, LISE features open spaces for spontaneous researcher interaction and collaboration.
University of Notre Dame Constructs Stinson-Remick Hall
The University of Notre Dame broke ground in November of 2007 on the $69.4 million Stinson-Remick Hall of Engineering in Notre Dame, Ind. The 142,000-sf facility will house a nanotechnology research center, an energy center, an 11,800-sf semiconductor processing and device fabrication cleanroom, and an undergraduate learning center. Designed to enhance interdisciplinary research, the project is slated for completion by late 2009.
Purdue University Dedicates Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering
Purdue University dedicated the $53 million Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering in October of 2007. The 125,000-sf facility is home to two schools in the College of Engineering, the School of Materials Engineering and the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Designed to foster teamwork and interaction, the building contains 20,000 sf of research labs and 60,000 sf of undergraduate teaching facilities, including discipline-specific design labs. The project broke ground in October of 2004.
