Located on the campus of the University of San Sebastian, nanoGUNE is a government sponsored initiative in nanoscience. Designed in collaboration with Spanish architect Javier San Jose Marques, Wilson Architects planned the specialized nanotechnology laboratory spaces for the 6000 m2 facility. The building houses various nano initiatives including bio-nano, imaging, nano-fab, and optics. The lowest floor contains high performance functions in double height space, including TEM (transmission electron microscope), STM (scanning tunneling microscope), and E-Beam lithography. Upper floors contain biology, chemistry and optics labs as well as a lecture hall and cafe.
