Located in the heart of the NIH campus, the newly constructed Building J Microscopy Facility spans an impressive lower level designed to enhance cutting-edge scientific research. Calibre provided civil design and construction services for this facility, which integrates RML’s Microscopy and AMOB functions while accommodating NIH Police and IT support staff.
A unique feature of this project is the expansive 2-story high space that allows for the installation of advanced Titan Krios and Cryo-EM microscopes, ensuring future growth in research capabilities. The layout includes individually shielded microscope rooms connected by a central corridor, optimized for safety and functionality.
This facility not only provides critical infrastructure for researchers but also strengthens community ties by driving scientific innovation. Calibre’s expert engineering solutions and commitment to quality have added significant value, fostering an environment that enhances collaboration and accelerates the discovery of new technologies.
