The Mason Lab retrofits existing dry lab space to support quantum materials research, with a focus on the electronic properties of nanoscale and correlated systems, such as nano-scale wires, atomically thin membranes, and nanostructured superconductors. This work will entail the installation and reconfiguration of MEP infrastructure, casework, and minor finishes upgrades.
Schedule:
- Start: Friday, August 29, 2025
- The work will happen in 2 phases and will continue through the end of February 2026.
- The work will mostly be contained within the rooms and areas of construction, with some work occurring in the corridor
Construction Impacts/Disruptions: Throughout the project, building occupants and visitors can expect the following:
- Construction Noise and some vibration impact of sawing, hammering, etc. should be expected.
- Workers will be on site from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays – Saturdays
- A few sprinkler heads in the area of work will need to be relocated, which will require a drain down of the sprinkler line in the basement for one 8-hour shift. The rest of the building will remain unaffected.
For questions and concerns, please reach out to Krystal McDoom, Project Manager, kmcdoom@uchicago.edu.
