Millennium Science Complex

millennium-science-complex

The Penn State node of the CDP will be housed in the new Millennium Science Complex. This is a 275,000 sq. ft. building with state-of-the-art materials processing, a 9,500 sq. ft. nano-clean room for nanofabrication (Class: 1000/100), and instruments for the characterization of organic and inorganic materials that are co-located in a vibration-free quiet space, part of 50,000 net square feet of user facilities dedicated to current and future generations of characterization and fabrication tools. This space is intended to embody a new style of research, in which experts from many disciplines coordinate their technologies and knowledge in ways that produce exponential advances. Having the CDP-PSU in the center of this complex will be of great advantage to the transference of new ideas into the commercial arena. This building also houses extensive facilities for prototyping of bulk and thin film dielectric and piezoelectric devices. This allows academic and industrial users to understand issues associated with co-processing novel materials, to develop new means of patterning complex oxides, and to bring devices from a concept level to pre-production.
