MORGANTOWN, W.V.
West Virginia University's new research cleanrooms are nearing completion. Part of a $33 million renovation of White Hall, the project will create a Class 100 Photolithography lab, a Class 1000 wet process lab, a Class 10,000 dry process lab, and a large Class 100,000 growth area lab. The labs will feature Bio-Gard germicidal wall lamination. The renovation was designed by IKM Architects with Jendoco Construction as general contractor; both firms are based in Pittsburgh. The renovation of White Hall began in February of 2010 and will include construction of a rooftop planetarium, two 175-seat classrooms, and teaching labs. Completion is expected in fall of 2011.
