PIE shielded facilities ("hot cells") will be located within the existing Tandem Accelerator Building (Building 32) at McMaster University, in support of the development of the Centre for Advanced Nuclear Systems (CANS).

Shielding complex research tools impacts facility design decisions

Shielding complex research tools impacts facility design decisions

Just as astronomical imaging has advanced, the research tools used by today's scientists to look deeper into atomic and molecular structures have grown in complexity and capability—and the requirements for their proper function have kept pace. This complexity involves both the physical environment surrounding the tools, drawing engineers into the conversation, and the physical structure housing the tools, inviting architects to the party.

Designed to solve: New forensics lab aids community

Designed to solve: New forensics lab aids community

For more than 100 years, the forensics laboratories of the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office have provided evidence investigation for the County Medical Examiner and police forces of Allegheny County and its surrounding counties in Western Pennsylvania. Constructed in 1929, the forensics labs were originally located in the basement of the County Office Building.

Designing facilities with extreme low-vibration requirements

Much equipment used in research and production of opto-electronic and nano-electronic systems, as well as instrumentation used in state-of-theart research in the physical and biological sciences, cannot function effectively if it is subject to vibrations that exceed small threshold values. The facility developer thus is presented with the challenge of devising designs in which the vibration disturbances are within acceptable limits.

Vibration isolation critical to measuring neuronal patterns

Isolating a laboratory’s sensitive microscopy equipment against low frequency vibration has become increasingly more vital to maintaining imaging quality and data integrity for neurobiology researchers.

New labs, new philosophies

New labs, new philosophies

R&D Magazine is proud to announce the 2012 Laboratory of the Year winners. These laboratories represent the pinnacle of design and execution in architecture for research and development. New construction facilities dominated this year's competition, but beyond this common theme the top new laboratories of 2012 differed widely in design philosophy.
