Abstract

ABSTRACT The proposed project involves focused construction to expand the advanced fabrication facility and capabilities at The Rockefeller University in Manhattan, New York City. The Precision Instrumentation Technologies (PIT) Resource Center provides a centralized and expertly staffed prototyping and fabrication facility that supports more than 50 principal investigators at The Rockefeller University (RU). This project seeks to expand and enhance our design and fabrication capabilities. The project goals are to: (1) Renovate and annex adjacent space to the current PIT to accommodate additional instrumentation, activities, and personnel; (2) Undertake elevator removal and rigging required to add institutionally funded fabrication equipment (CNC mill, CNC lathe, water jet cutter); and (3) Create a new microfabrication facility.
