FOSTERING THE ENTREPRENEURS OF TOMORROW FROM THE TOP OF AN ICONIC BUSINESS BUILDING
The UCL School of Management conducts disruptive research and trains future business leaders, from the 38 th floor of One Canada Square. Inspired by start-up workspaces, we designed a facility that encourages collaboration between staff and students as they engage in innovative research and education. Level 38 reflects the industries that students will work in and sets the precedent for teaching spaces outside UCL’s campus.
THE UK’S FIRST OPEN-ACCESS QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY FACILITY THAT CAN MAKE, TEST AND MEASURE NEW QUANTUM MECHANICAL COMPUTER CHIPS Quantum technologies promise to revolutionise computing, security and sensing by harnessing nature at a deeper level than ever before. The high-spec cleanroom we built houses new tools for the growth and patterning of materials to create nano-scale (around one millionth of a millimetre) quantum devices, while three new state-of-the-art measurement labs enable the study and demonstration of these devices at ultra-low temperatures. These facilities will enable academic and commercial users to build new technologies that harness the strange laws of quantum mechanics, for example, to create new ‘quantum’ computer chips able to solve problems far beyond the reach of today’s biggest supercomputers. QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY LABORATORIES
– A CLEANROOM WITHIN A CLEANROOM FOR BETTER CONTROL OF AIRBORNE PARTICLES
– FACILITIES TO REFRIGERATE TEST DEVICES DOWN TO OVER 100 TIMES COOLER THAN OUTER SPACE – DEDICATED PLANT FOR PRECISE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL, MONITORED 24/7
“The refurbishment has allowed us to establish internationally-leading research facilities. This is having a huge impact with UCL researchers now collaborating with global leaders including Google and MIT.” PAUL WARBURTON Professor of Nanoelectronics, Quantum Science and Technology Institute
