The CNSI Court of Sciences BuildingÌýis a 188,000-square-foot facility providingÌýnanosciences research laboratories,Ìýlaboratory support space, anÌýauditorium, offices and conferenceÌýrooms. TutorÌýPerini constructed theÌýbuilding, which consisted of demolitionÌýof existing structures, equipmentÌýrelocations, site utilities, foundationÌýdrainage system, mat foundation, below-grade concrete walls and frame, backfilling,Ìýstructural steel frame including decks and long-span trusses, building enclosure andÌýroof steel stairs, and related mechanical, plumbing and electrical items.

The first three levels of the CNSI building were built below the Court of Sciences,Ìýadjacent to Parking Lot 9. The remaining four floors were built on top of the first threeÌýlevels and the pre-existing parking structure. The two lower levels house engineeringÌýand low-vibration labs, along with an Integrated Molecular Systems facility and twoÌýclean rooms. The third level includes a loading dock and laboratory space for theÌýCrump Institute for Molecular Imaging, which include facilitiesÌýfor bio systems and optical imaging. The fourth level acts as the main level and is openÌýinto the Court of Sciences. This main level has a 260-seat auditorium and enoughÌýfloor space for an exhibition area, a seminar room, and administration offices. RightÌýabove the main floor, Levels 5 and 7 have a uniquely designed open lab space, sandwichingÌýLevel 6, which serves as an interstitial level capable of providing lab servicesÌýand handling future laboratory growth.
