Applied Materials’ Technology Center is a state-of-the-art research and development facility that doubles as a demonstration space for clients buying manufacturing equipment. The highly flexible Class 1 cleanroom can utilize virtually any tool bay configuration, including 300mm technology. A high level of vibration resistance has been built into the structure, creating an ideal environment for scanning electron microscopes, laser technologies, and other vibration sensitive uses. Designed for high visibility from prominent roadways, the Technology Center also provides a convenient link to the remainder of the Arques campus. The exterior skin is clean and techtonic in appearance, with a point-supported glass entry canopy highlighting the main entry. Additionally, sales offices, open office areas, conference rooms, and administrative offices occupy 30,000 sf in the Technology Center.
