Marcus Nanotechnology Building
In August of 2006, Georgia Tech broke ground on the $90 million Marcus Nanotechnology Building as part of a public/private partnership with the State of Georgia. Comprised of 30,000 square feet of cleanroom space, the building will become one of the nation's largest cleanroom facilities and the first one designed to provide significant space for research that applies nanoscience and nanotechnology to the emerging field of biotechnology. Work in the Marcus Nanotechnology Building will focus on creating innovative systems that include new approaches to drug delivery, cancer detection and treatment, DNA damage repair, and the detection and analysis of plaque formation for artery and cardiac disease prevention.
Funding for the Marcus Nanotechnology Building will accelerate our ability to make contributions leading to the defeat of dreaded diseases and to the enhancement of the human condition. With considerable progress already made, Georgia Tech is now challenged to provide the remaining $14 million to complete construction of the facility. Your support is integral to achieving that goal, and numerous named recognition opportunities are still available.
