Case Study

Advanced Materials Research Laboratory (AMRL)

Clemson University’s Advanced Materials Research Laboratory (AMRL) consolidates nanotechnology, electronic instrument device and laser labs, chemistry labs, and cleanroom space for educational activities and industry research.

CH2M HILL, through its subsidiary IDC Architects, led the team of engineers and lab consultants to create the flexible, cutting-edge academic research space. Leveraging their knowledge of nanotechnology process requirements, our designers and technologists provided innovative design solutions related to electron microscopic sensitivities, isolated independent slabs, acoustic dampening, electronic shielding, vibration analysis, air distribution systems (with 66 lab hoods), cleanroom space, and specialty labs for laser, instrument and draw-tower (fiber optics) research.

The AMRL was awarded LEED® Silver certification and was Clemson’s first LEED certified building. CH2M HILL managed the LEED certification process to meet USGBC requirements.

“ One thing that truly impressed me about CH2M HILL’s performance was the ability to obtain one-stop shopping in terms of the engineering and technical design. ... CH2M HILL is one of the few companies that we know capable of providing this degree of integration.”

— Professor of Chemistry/Liaison to the Vice President for

Solutions Focused on Your NeedsCH2M HILL has the resources and capabilities to support nanotechnology enterprises of every type and size. For large scale operations, we leverage our extensive experience in the design and construction of semiconductor “mega fabs” to provide comprehensive services and technical expertise for our clients.

For laboratory scale work, typically in university research centers, CH2M HILL designers and technologists focus on the specialized challenges facing smaller organizations, where multiple groups with different goals — biomaterials, nanoelectronics, CNTs, nanoparticle metals, optics — share a facility.

For projects of every size we are committed to:

• Tailoring our delivery approaches to achieve your business agenda

• Optimizing your facilities and infrastructure to increase efficiency and reduce life-cycle costs

• Applying technology to create solutions that improve your competitive position

• Leveraging our flexibility and expertise over a broad spectrum of technical services

• Partnering with you to build a long-term relationship — more than eighty percent of our work is new projects for existing clients

“ I can’t talk enough about the quality of people that CH2M HILL has brought to the table for us. They have really done a tremendous job. The people are extremely responsive, they care about what they do, and they really go the extra mile to make the customer satisfied.”
