The Molecular Engineering & Sciences Building was carefully designed and engineered to facilitate advanced molecular-level engineering research. Located on the former site of Cunningham Hall within the engineering and science core of the UW campus, the building is ideally situated to catalyze the cross-departmental research and educational collaborations that are necessary for building an interdisciplinary research program in this field. It features an open layout designed for shared research space and a dedicated molecular and nanotechnology instrumentation lab. Designed to a LEED Gold standard, this state of the art building utilizes smart building technology and building systems to support the highest standards of sustainability and flexibility of use.
