Facilities and resources

Offers facilities for tissue culture, sample preparation and microscopy.

Offers instruments for analyzing metals, major elements, and organic chemicals.

Shared lab space within the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department (CEE) with instrumentation for the analysis of both liquid and solid samples (from volatile organics to sample characterization).

The Design Innovation Lab has over 25,000 square feet of makerspace facilities within Wendt Commons and Engineering Centers Building, equipped with expert design support, fee-for-service fabrication, millions of dollars of high-tech equipment, and resources to help you bring your course, research and personal projects to life.

Contains a NEC 1.7 MV tandem accelerator with research focus on radiation damage of materials.

Over 70 instruments in cleanroom space. Services include lithography, deposition, packaging, assembly, thermal processing, and plasma etching.

The center contains sophisticated microscopy and analysis instruments for characterizing materials and nanostructures.

The lab is equipped with nearly 50 instruments for polymer synthesis and characterization of physical and mechanical properties of polymers and other materials.

Offers machine tools, training, advising and support needed to machine and manufacture projects in metal, plastic and wood.

A 1 MW TRIGA research reactor, called the University of Wisconsin Nuclear Reactor or UWNR. The UWNR is operated as a teaching and research reactor since 1961.

A suite of shared instrumentation facilities providing equipment, facilities and expertise in microelectronics, nano-fabrication technology, electron microscopy, micro-analysis and soft materials characterization.

Provides equipment and technical support for materials testing, structural testing and vibrations measurements.
