U OF M- Nanomechanical Engineering Lab Dedication
Stringent temperature and humidity control and air-filtration systems pervade the site. Eight ultra-low vibration chambers, housed below grade, have been designed and constructed. Investigators will conduct research at unprecedented levels of precision and accuracy.
This $46-million complex was made possible, in part, by a $9.5-million grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This addition is the first phase of a two-part project. The second phase, now in progress, will renovate the original G.G. Brown Laboratories, constructed in the late 1950s, to greatly enhance its infrastructure and realize a student-centric state-of-the-art education facility. The State of Michigan, alumni, friends and corporate partners have been essential supporters in making this project possible.
