Research Labs
Zucrow Labs consists of six buildings housing twenty-two individual laboratories, a computer lab with two server clusters on site, a professional machine shop, and air compressors and air tanks capable of delivering 3300 cubic feet of air at 2200 psi. Associated with eight of the twenty-two individual labs are a total of eighteen "hazard" test cells and four "high hazard" test cells.
The lab also offers a 72-seat auditorium, a conference room, office space for 75 researchers, and onsite clerical, business office, and technical support.
