Shared Experimental Facilities

Overview

The CCMR Shared Facilities, offer sophisticated instruments maintained and enhanced by expert staff, who assist and train researchers. Students using CCMR facilities have the rare opportunity to receive personal, expert training in experimental techniques, both complex and routine.

Our facilities provide maximum productive use of scientific instrumentation and research expertise, ensuring that the highest quality equipment, instruments, and services are available to users, at Cornell and elsewhere including other universities and industry. The seven CCMR shared experimental facilities occupy over 20,000 ft² of space and are clustered near users on the Arts and Engineering Quads.

All CCMR facilities charge user fees in accordance with Cornell, NSF and OMB regulations. In addition to our MRSEC funded researchers, our facilities serve individuals in 37 departments across 5 colleges and 6 Centers at Cornell. CCMR facilities have supplied instrumentation and expertise to many companies and academic institutions, non-profit organizations and national laboratories. Potential users are encouraged to contact the appropriate facility staff or the Director of Shared Facilities.
