Physical Sciences Facility for Green Energy Innovation
Vision:
Â鶹´«Ã½ is planning a new Physical Sciences Facility for Green Energy Innovation building.
It will  serve as a hub for the Departments of Chemistry and Physics & Atmospheric Science where researchers will study cutting-edge solutions to help address climate change and other challenges facing Nova Scotia, Canada, and the world.
The modern state-of-the-art facility will feature wet labs for researchers in the areas of advanced-energy storage, clean energy, and sustainable materials, with flexible research space that favours collaboration and the sharing of equipment.
It will be a hub for the kinds of chemical and materials research that enables advances in climate technology, allowing Â鶹´«Ã½  to attract graduate students and accelerate solutions for a sustainable future.
The Sir James Dunn Building and the Chemistry Building will both remain in operation during and after construction. When labs relocate to the new facility, renovations will be planned to allow for use of spaces formerly used for research purposes. Previously announced projects like the Canadian Battery Innovation Centre planned for the Dunn Building remain on track.
