In this presentation, NPL's
priority areas for development in measurement science for the
future will be described briefly. This will include fields such
as nanotechnology, quantum metrology, biotechnology and photonics.
Potential requirements for future laboratory facilities to achieve
our strategic plan for science will be discussed.

The Advanced Materials Characterization
Laboratory (AMCL): The presentation will cover the design of
the laboratory and its purpose. The Aberration Corrected Electron
Microscope (ACEM) coming to the HTML and several other microscopes
being developed for ORNL will require a very special environment
in order to reach their design resolution. Electromagnetic fields,
mechanical vibration, noise, room temperature fluctuations,
and barometric pressure changes all have the ability to degrade
microscope performance. The ACEM, for example, will need to
have ambient electromagnetic fields below 0.3 milligauss; nowhere
in the existing HTML building is the field below 1 milligauss.
The AMCL will be designed to minimize all potential deleterious
environmental influences. The ACEM will be housed "room
within a room," and will be operated from an adjoining
control room. Thus there will be no operator with the instrument,
which will minimize noise and thermal fluctuations.

Constructing Advanced Technology
Buildings takes special forethought and focus to actually achieve
what is required to have them perform. Advanced Technology construction
requires special construction methods and rigorous attention
to details. This presentation will cover the emphasis needed
during the construction process and present some lessons learned.
