The Center for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN) is a joint venture of Trinity College Dublin (founded 1505) and the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI). CRANN is a $35M, 43,000 NSF facility to be completed 2007. Designed in collaboration with RKD Architects of Dublin, the building will house dry labs and offices for 10 principal investigators plus corporate collaborators, a clean room, lecture halls and a visual arts gallery showcasing science. A specially designed basement will contain 15 low vibration labs. The site is the last parcel left near the original campus – and near the scientific community of Trinity College Dublin.
