• EYP

Project Role(s)

• Designer

Description

• 18,000 GSF of graduate-level materials science research core laboratory, enabling infrastructure, academic support spaces and offices. This project sees a portion of a historic brick building, originally built for silverware manufacturing, renovated to a state-of-the-art research facility for work at the atomic scale discovery and exploration.

• Instrumentation:

  • FIT / RAMAN

  • AFM

  • PXRD / PDF

  • XPS

  • SRM

  • ATOM PROBE

  • FIB

  • TEM

  • FEGSEM

  • LIGHT MICROSCOPY AND SAMPLE PREP

• Fun Exchange During Design:

  Engineering Consultant: Do we need to provide room darkening in the instrumentation rooms?

  Lab Planner: Considering the particles they will be looking at are smaller than the wavelength of light - no.”
