The Marcus Nanotechnology Building (MNB) is a

Georgia Institute of Technology facility. The building was constructed on the site of the Electronics Research Building, the former home of GTRI's Information and Communications Laboratory. It was opened on April 24, 2009, as the Marcus Nanotechnology Research Center, a name it held until October 2013.[3][4]

Research

The Marcus Nanotechnology Building (MNB) is now the headquarters for the

Southeast United States
.

These shared-user open laboratories are part of the National Science Foundation's

nano
-scale tools and machines.

Status

The Information and Communications Laboratory was previously located on the site, and has been moved to GCATT. The Electronics Research Building, established in 1966,[5] was demolished, and construction began in Fall 2006/Spring 2007.

The construction was funded by several donations, including $7 million from the State of Georgia,[6] $15 million from the Marcus Foundation,[7] and $36 million from an anonymous source.[8]
