Project	National Institute For Nano Technology
Team Members	Eduardo De Diego, Senior Systems Analyst
Construction Value	$120M (Can.)
Start Date	May 2003
End Date	Summer 2006

Established in 2001, the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) is funded and operated jointly by the National Research Council (NRC), the Province of Alberta and the University of Alberta. NINT is an integrated, multidisciplinary institution involving researchers in physics, chemistry, engineering, biology, informatics, pharmacy and medicine.

Located on the University of Alberta campus in Edmonton, NINT's upcoming 12,000 square-meter research and industry partnership/incubation facility is designed to accommodate 150 permanent staff; up to 45 guest workers from industry and universities; and training opportunities for some 275 graduate and post-doctoral researchers.

The ASRA engagement for this major project includes complete analysis, recommendations and design services for the complete security infrastructure, including cooperative design efforts with the Architect and the University of Alberta Facility Management teams.
