The '''Nanotechnology Research Center''' (NRC) will be part of the [[Georgia Institute of Technology]] and will be constructed on the site of the [http://gtalumni.org/campusmap/bldngmodel.php?id=79&navview=0 Electronics Research Building], the former home of [[Georgia Tech Research Institute|GTRI]]'s [[GTRI Information Technology & Telecommunications Laboratory|Information Technology & Telecommunications Laboratory]] (ITTL). The NRC will be the largest [[cleanroom]] laboratory in the [[Southeast United States]]. Scientists and engineers researching [[nanotechnology]] there will study the characteristics and behavior of [[atom]]s and [[molecule]]s and use that knowledge to create new materials and tiny [[nanometer|nano]]-scale tools and machines.
==Status==
The [[GTRI Information Technology & Telecommunications Laboratory|Information Technology & Telecommunications Laboratory]] was previously located on the site, and has been moved to [http://gtalumni.org/campusmap/bldngmodel.php?id=141 GCATT]. The Electronics Research Building, established in 1966,<ref name="timeline1960s">{{cite web|url=http://gtalumni.org/Publications/timeline/1960s.html|title=Tech Timeline: 1960s|publisher=Georgia Tech Alumni Association|accessdate=2007-03-06}}</ref> was demolished, and construction began in Fall 2006/Spring 2007.
The construction has been funded by several donations, including $7 million from the State of Georgia,<ref>{{cite news|first=Arcadiy|last=Kantor|url=http://www.nique.net/issues/2005-04-15/news/5|title=State partially funds nanotechnology center|work=[[The Technique]]|date=2005-04-15|accessdate=2007-03-06}}</ref> $15 million from the Marcus Foundation,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.azonano.com/news.asp?newsID=2385|title=Marcus Foundation Makes $15 Million Commitment to Georgia Tech's Nanotechnology Research Center Building|work=AZoNano.com|accessdate=2007-03-06}}</ref> and $36 million from an anonymous source;<ref name="dev">{{cite web|url=http://www.development.gatech.edu/pq/2003/2003-Fall.pdf|title=Anonymous Gift Spurs Major Nanotechnology Initiative at Tech|work=Philanthropy Quarterly|publisher=Georgia Tech Capital Projects|date=Autumn 2003|accessdate=2007-03-06}}</ref> the latter is the single largest donation by a living person in the school's history.<ref name="dev"/><ref>The previous largest single donation was [[George W.
