University’s New Building Incorporates EMI-Reducing Materials

 

The University of Alberta’s new Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science includes a 500-seat lecture hall and has a planned opening in January. For the building, some specially sensitive equipment had to be constructed on its own foundation, or isolation pad, and engineers had to run elevators extra slowly and order braided wire to reduce electromagnetic interference. Scheduled to open in 2010, CCIS will house the Department of Physics and interdisciplinary science research teams in one facility.
