MacroTechnology Works upgrades

Building Information

This project renovates infrastructure, equipment and research lab spaces including deferred maintenance, operational systems and new tool installations at MacroTechnology Works within the ASU Research Park in Tempe.

It will consist of several smaller projects to renovate the existing research laboratories, providing state-of-the-art facilities to meet the growing demands of the university’s research initiatives and to comply with code requirements.

In total, $17 million will be used to renovate infrastructure and research lab spaces in partnership with Applied Materials Inc. and $23 million will be used to address deferred maintenance and provide improved infrastructure and space utilization to expand this research, development and prototyping facility.

The renovated research spaces will allow for additional industry partners to work with ASU to develop collaborative spaces and shared equipment areas within the existing 261,188 gross-square-foot building.

The MTW building accelerates semiconductor, advanced materials and energy device research as a unique national resource that combines the equipment, expertise and training necessary to develop new technology from proof of concept to pilot scale.
