Project Profile: The George Washington University (GW) Science and Engineering Hall
The George Washington University (GW) Science and Engineering Hall, allows for varied scientific research disciplines and facilities to congregate in a singular collaborative space.
The facility can be enjoyed by those at George Washington University and neighboring institutions.
The building supports Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Anthropology. As well as the George Washinton’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Milken Institute School of Public Health.
Along with an emphasis on nanofabrication, and characterization of materials, one of the standout features of the facility is electron microscopy, brought by Dr. Anastas Popratiloff, director and lead scientist of the George Washington Nanofabrication and Imaging Center.
Electron microscopy allows for innovative research techniques through imaging and analysis, correlative and automotive workflow, and the capitalization of multi-modalities on a singular platform.
The new hall also includes optical microscopes, a cleanroom, a series of Thermo Scientific Teneo scanning electron microscopes, a Talos F200X transmission electron microscope (TEM), Maps workflow software suite, and a Helios-focused ion beam scanning electron microscope.
