Yale University

Multi-phase renovations to a former pharmaceutical manufacturing facility on Yale’s West Campus provide new flexible research laboratories and core facilities for the Energy Science Institute and West Campus Materials Characterization Core.

The Energy Science Institute brings together researchers from the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Chemistry, Geology and Geophysics, Applied Physics, and the Yale Solar Group who focus on emerging challenges facing the environment and energy sectors. The open design of the shared laboratories, write-up areas, and interaction space enables collaboration and highly efficient use of resources among these researchers who are developing new materials for energy production and storage and are advancing sophisticated tools necessary to characterize the functionality of these materials.
