Recommendations of the advisorycommittee: The building should be open, airy, and have wide public access areas whichencourage interdisciplinary interactions between scientists. The lobby should accommodate a public information areas, possible a smallenergy museum and showcase area. Research space should reflect the types of laboratory installations that willmeet the needs of the research focus groups of the center.¾Organic synthesis¾Bio-fuels greenhouse and Type 2 Micro-organism handling facility¾Nanofabrication¾Modular Systems Indoor/outdoor Large Testing Bay¾Environment/ Nanotechnology cross cutting themes Since new research directions are emerging, the space must be versatile inorder to accommodate these changes.
