University of Alberta | Fabrication de pointe

Principales installations

  • NanoFab: micro/nano fabrication & characterization, with clean room & $110M+
    in equipment & infrastructure. Supports academic research & industrial projects. Largest centre of its kind in Western Canada; 1 of only 3 dedicated nanotech centres in Canada.
  • NINT (building): home to some of Canada’s quietest labs & most advanced tools/equipment.
  • Albert Cell Therapy Manufacturing: GMP facility for cell therapy production for clinical trials & non-GMP for pre-clinical studies. 10,000 sq ft, has 6 seperate clean rooms for simultaneous production with no cross-contamination. Only such facility in Western Canada & only 1 of 5 in Canada.
  • Viz Room: Canada’s 2nd virtual reality (VR) room. Supports diverse research including virtual prototyping, and real-time graphics.

Grands projets

  • Nanotechnology Initiative: collaboration between (formerly called National Institute for Nanotechnology/ NIINT collaboration).
  • Revolutionizing construction: industrializing & modernizing North America’s construction by moving onsite activities & workers to offsite high-tech factories. Building is automated, prefabricated/modular, regulated & tightly scheduled in a climate-controlled environment for faster, more efficient, better quality construction, better worker safety & health, less cost, virtually no material waste, far less environmental impact. Will train construction workers as 21st century knowledge workers. Collaboration has 12 industry partners, plus many industry stakeholders also involved.
