All of the MIT.nano cleanroom spaces include tools and equipment that aid in the development of ideas, projects, and prototypes. The Tecnológico de Monterrey Prototyping Space located on the fifth floor serves as a specialized extension of the cleanroom complex located on the floors below.
This space is where MIT.nano can prototype functions and capabilities for our users. It includes a small Class 1000 cleanroom area and multiple bays designed to be flexible foundations for capabilities that may be added or adapted over time.
Equipment in the Prototyping Space is part of both Fab.nano and Characterization.nano. All tools and instruments in this area are available to registered users who have completed the appropriate safety and training sessions.

The MIT–Tecnológico de Monterrey Program in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
In 2014, MIT established a formal relationship with Tecnológico de Monterrey, one of Latin America’s largest universities, to bring students and faculty from Mexico to Cambridge for fellowships, internships, and research stays in MIT labs and centers. The agreement has initially focused on research at the frontier of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
The Tecnológico de Monterrey Prototyping Space was named in honor of this relationship. Read the 2014 announcement and a 2016 follow-up on the start of the program.
