The Princeton Nanoscale Microscopy Laboratory (PNML), situated in a former cyclotron facility in the basement of Jadwin Hall, is designed for high-precision measurements in condensed matter physics. Its six high-bay experimental rooms feature 30-ton isolation plinths, two access levels (upper for experiments, lower for cryogenics), RF and EMI shielding, dedicated air handling with a heat removal mode, and the capacity for large apparatus, with large doors, cranes, and an oversize lift. The rooms are arranged around a central service ring for pumping and utilities, with an inner quiet area for computing and controls.
For this Project, the Princeton University Nanoscale Microscopy Laboratory, William F. Wilson FAIA was principal in charge at Wilson Architects. Throughout all project phases, from pre-design, budgeting and programming to schematic design, design development, and the completion of Construction Documents, he led the team. His responsibilities included coordinating with subcontractors and the general contractor. Professor Yazdani collaborated on the design of the project.
