The MIT.nano building, designed by HGA, is a facility dedicated to nanoscale science and engineering. Located at the heart of MIT’s campus, it features a glass curtainwall façade that creates a visual connection between the historic and modern elements of the campus. The building houses laboratories, including class 100 and 1,000 cleanrooms, imaging suites, and a nano-makerspace.
The design emphasizes energy efficiency, achieving LEED Platinum certification through extensive benchmarking and energy conservation measures. The facility’s interior is engineered to maintain air cleanliness, temperature stability, and low vibration levels, essential for nanoscale research. By reusing an existing building site, MIT.nano revitalizes a major precinct of the campus, integrating into the renowned Infinite Corridor. This architectural approach supports cutting-edge research and enhances collaboration across various disciplines.
