Following the success of the
previous Buildings for Advanced Technology Workshops, BAT III
was held on February 6-8, 2006 at Purdue University in West
Lafayette, Indiana.
Now that a first wave of technical facilities has been designed
and many have been constructed, this third BAT workshop focused on the results achieved and the lessons learned. The BAT
III workshop, organized in part by the U.S. National
Nanotechnology Initiative and Purdue University,
brought together
building owners, facilities managers and user representatives
from a prestigious list of national laboratories, private
industry and higher education institutions to share their experience in achieving
the needs of these technically demanding facilities.
The proceedings of this workshop will be published through the
National Nanotechnology Coordination Office on behalf of the
member agencies of the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and
Technology (NSET) Subcommittee, Committee on Technology,
National Science and Technology Council.
