Nanotechnology Research Center

The Nanotechnology Research Center (NRC) will be part of the Georgia Institute of Technology and will be constructed on the site of the [http://gtalumni.org/campusmap/bldngmodel.php?id=79&navview=0 Electronics Research Building] , the former home of GTRI's Information Technology & Telecommunications Laboratory (ITTL). The NRC will be the largest cleanroom laboratory in the Southeast United States. Scientists and engineers researching nanotechnology there will 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 Information Technology & Telecommunications Laboratory was previously located on the site, and has been moved to [http://gtalumni.org/campusmap/bldngmodel.php?id=141 GCATT] . The Electronics Research Building, established in 1966,cite web|url=http://gtalumni.org/Publications/timeline/1960s.html|title=Tech Timeline: 1960s|publisher=Georgia Tech Alumni Association|accessdate=2007-03-06] 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, [cite news|first=Arcadiy|last=Kantor|url=http://www.nique.net/issues/2005-04-15/news/5|title=State partially funds nanotechnology center|work=The Technique|date=2005-04-15|accessdate=2007-03-06] $15 million from the Marcus Foundation, [cite news|url=http://www.azonano.com/news.asp?newsID=2385|title=Marcus Foundation Makes $15 Million Commitment to Georgia Tech's Nanotechnology Research Center Building|work=AZoNano.com|accessdate=2007-03-06] and $36 million from an anonymous source;cite web|url=http://www.development.gatech.edu/pq/2003/2003-Fall.pdf|title=Anonymous Gift Spurs Major Nanotechnology Initiative at Tech|work=Philanthropy Quarterly|publisher=Georgia Tech Capital Projects|date=Autumn 2003|accessdate=2007-03-06] the latter is the single largest donation by a living person in the school's history.
