Facilities


LUIL provides quality space required for operation of sensitive research instruments.
 
The LUIL occupies 372 m2 of space, which is centrally located on the campus.  It has ample power, water, ventilation, and climate control for protection and optimal operation of sensitive instrumentation.
 
The Laboratory is located in the University Centre-Centennial Building junction in UC0001 which is in the basement below the AGORA, near Human Resources and the Finance Office.  The NMR Laboratory is located in the CB basement,  in CB0012c down the hallway from UC0001. The  Hg Laboratory is located in CB0013. The IC is located in CB0036.
