Abstract:	Construction costs of nano labs reflect the differential between the required performance criteria and the in situ conditions. Nano retrofits in existing buildings range from $300 to $1000 NSF, depending on the isolation required. New construction can be prepared for nano occupancies with strategic investments to the shell and core construction. Topics covered include decisions for: siting / utilities; foundation; super structure; high bay; low vibration; clean room; construction delivery; and testing and commissioning. Examples from six current projects will be used – three renovations and four new construction.
