The NU-MRSEC maintains a number of shared facilities which provide faculty, students, and industrial partners with access to state-of-the-art equipment.

Large facilities generally have on-site managers and regularly offer short courses on the use of the equipment. Please contact the facility director and/or manager directly for additional information.
