Birck Nanotechnology Research Center will be the first of its kind in the state of Indiana and will establish Purdue as a national leader in nanoscale research. The facility will provide approximately 215,000 gross square feet of interactive, interdisciplinary laboratory, cleanroom, office, teaching laboratories and seminar space to pursue research The facility will be the anchor of Purdue’s new Discovery Park located on the southwest edge of the West Lafayette campus. Programs will involve undergraduate teaching, graduate research and technology transfer initiatives with industry partners. The facility is to be part of the School of Electrical and Computational Engineering. The Schools of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and other engineering disciplines will participate in research efforts.
