The 100,000-square-foot Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology provides vibration-free space, including a sub-basement, for leading edge nanotechnology research labs. It is a multidisciplinary research and teaching center that provides vital facilities for experiments, measurements and synthesis at the nano scale. Labs in the building include:

The building supports three user groups: Photon and Quantum Science and Engineering; Nano Science and Engineering; and Biological Science and Engineering. These groups have established a convergence of research and equipment needs that require state of the art facilities.

The Nano Center defines a new standard for the performance and livability for lab buildings on campus. It meets Stanford’s mandate that all the buildings on the SEQ use 50% less energy than a typical building. Using similar strategies to the Y2E2 Building, the center is designed with a large atrium that maximizes daylight and natural ventilation. Undertaken concurrently with the Huang Engineering Center, the Nano Center is the third building to be completed on the Science Engineering Quad (SEQ). |

Connected through basement-level research and lab areas to the adjacent Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center and to the future the Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering Building (the final building to comprise the Science and Engineering Quad), the Nano Center fosters direct collaboration between nano research and related disciplines. In addition, as research within the Nano Center is generating foundational insights for the School of Medicine, it will be a key hinge point between the SEQ and nearby School of Medicine to the north. |
