Marcus Nanotechnology Research Center 
Nanotechnology Research Center in Spring 2010General information Location Atlanta, Georgia, USA Address Ferst Drive Coordinates 33°46′43″N 84°23′55″W / 33.778728°N 84.398611°WCoordinates: 33°46′43″N 84°23′55″W / 33.778728°N 84.398611°W Construction started Announced October 2003,[1] ground broken August 7, 2006[2] Completed Spring 2009 Technical details Floor count 4 Design and construction Owner Georgia Institute of Technology Main contractor Whiting-Turner Architect m+w zander The Marcus Nanotechnology Research Center (NRC) is a nanotechnology research center located in the Marcus Nanotechnology Building on the Georgia Institute of Technology campus. Formally opened on April 24, 2009,[3][4] the NRC was constructed on the site of the Electronics Research Building, the former home of GTRI's Information and Communications Laboratory. The NRC is the largest cleanroom laboratory in the Southeast United States. Scientists and engineers researching nanotechnology there study the characteristics and behavior of atoms and molecules and use that knowledge to create new materials and tiny nano-scale tools and machines. The Center on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at Georgia Tech was first founded by Dr. Zhong Lin Wang.[5] Also under the banner of the NRC is the Nanotechnology Lab, led by Dr. W. Jud Ready.[6]
Status
The Information and Communications Laboratory was previously located on the site, and has been moved to GCATT. The Electronics Research Building, established in 1966,[7] was demolished, and construction began in Fall 2006/Spring 2007.
The construction has been funded by several donations, including $7 million from the State of Georgia,[8] $15 million from the Marcus Foundation,[9] and $36 million from an anonymous source.[10]
