Synopsis:

UCB CITRIS, State of the Art H6-Occupancy Nanotechnology Cleanroom Facility at U.C. Berkeley.

IES led the MEP design and Code compliance effort and designed a user friendly lab with direct interaction with the lab manager. We utilized our hands- on experience in facilities operations, management and construction to provide UCB with the ultimate design, taking the user’s needs into consideration.

• 17,000 sq. ft. Class-100 & 1,000 Cleanrooms
• 8,000 sq. ft. Central Utility Plant - Fume Exhaust, Silane exhaust, Acid Waste Neutralization, PCW System, DI Water system, PCW, CDA, VAC, Etc.
• H2/H7 Occupancy Hazmat Storage and Dispensing bunkers chemicals and toxic, flammable and Pyrophoric Gases.

Project Schedule:
