The Brookhaven Nanocenter is one of five research centers proposed by the US DOE. The Nanocenter at Brookhaven will complement the other DOE centers, as well as coordinate with University centers supported by the National science Foundation. These centers will greatly enhance scientists' ability to investigate the effects of nanoscale dimensions on materials' properties by providing new fabrication techniques, novel experimental probes and other research tools. The Center for Functional Nanomaterials will be housed in a new building, containing six laboratory clusters and will provide access to beamlines at the National Synchrotron Light Source. Its scientific program will be organized into five scientific thrust areas, aligned along specific functional materials, with a sixth thrust area in applications of these materials. These applications will emphasize emerging technologies of interest to the DOE's mission goals.

The facility is LEED^®2.1 registered project.
