Molecular Science and Engineering Building
The Molecular Science and Engineering (M) Building is the fourth building in Georgia Tech's Biotechnology Complex. This $70-million, 272,000 square-foot structure, enables collaboration between scientists and engineers with common research interests in fundamental and applied molecular sciences. Their research focuses on the development of remarkable new substances and materials for applications in electronics and photonics, sensors, biomaterials, structural materials, and coatings. Their discoveries will be used for purposes including new innovations in computer memory, the development of replacement tissue for the treatment of human disease or injury, the creation of magnetic nanoparticles for the treatment of cancer, and the formation of flexible organic photonic and electronic materials and devices that will serve the information-technology, energy, and defense sectors.
With the main structure completed in 2006, thanks to the generosity of private donors such as alumni Patrick Nettles and Glen Robinson, and Scientific-Atlanta, the M building is partially occupied by more than 200 graduate and undergraduate students. When complete, the M building will house more than 300 graduate and undergraduate students and more than 40 faculty from at least eight academic schools across the Georgia Tech campus.
We are now challenged to raise the remaining funds to complete the west wing, and reach our minimum private fundraising goal of $20 million. Your gift in support of the M Building will ensure the innovations of these students and faculty continue to accelerate.
Several giving opportunities are available at levels from $25,000 to $25,000,000, including a named opportunity for the building itself, as well as for several locations and laboratories within. For more information on how to direct your gift in support of the M Building, contact Phil Bonfiglio, Director of Development, College of Sciences.
