NIST Gives Pitt $15 Million Grant to Expand Nanoscience, Experimental Physics Facilities
A $15 million grant Pitt recently received from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the keystone of a four-year, $27.8 million expansion of the University’s nanoscience and experimental physics facilities. The renovation—to which Pitt will contribute $12.8 million—encompasses four buildings and will provide the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Physics and Astronomy with 13 new or significantly enhanced laboratories, including space for three new faculty members.
