Argonne National Laboratory - Center for Nanoscale Materials
9700 S Cass Avenue Lemont, IL
The Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at Argonne National Laboratory is a multifunctional and multidisciplinary research facility. Built to support all stages of scientific research and development at the nano scale, this Department of Energy-funded project consists of laboratories, biological (level II) research labs, clean rooms, offices, and conference spaces. Constructed in 2007, the 91,300 square feet building accommodates nano scale research with superior levels of vibration isolation, thermal stability, as well as EMI abatement. The project was certified Silver in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program by the U.S. Green Building Council. The project’s pursuit of certification came in part from Argonne’s own sustainability program, the GreenLab Initiative, an effort to identify and implement energy and water conservation while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
