Underground Science:
The Lorry I. Lokey Laboratories |
| Tours will be available during Homecoming week prior to the official October 15 opening
 Located 19 feet below ground level, the University of Oregon’s Lorry I. Lokey Laboratories is a unique facility encased in bedrock, providing an optimal setting for research at the nanoscale. Interior glass walls allow observers to view research activities in progress. The new facility, a part of the Integrated Science Complex, located beween Deschutes and Huestis Hall, on the University of Oregon campus, is a signature research center associated with the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI).
