The Panel Discussion is directly followed by the Buildings for Advanced Technology Workshop III (BAT III). The BAT III includes a discussion on the results achieved and the lessons learnt in construction of Nanotechnology facilities. It brings together building owners and facilities managers from a prestigious list of national laboratories, private industry and higher education institutions to share their experience in achieving the needs of these technically demanding facilities. The BAT III will also take place starting February 6-8 2006 at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Attendees and Speakers who wish to attend the BAT III will get priority seating through both events. Read more>>
