This inauguration marked the completion of the first phase of the laboratory construction which includes the Center for Design Manufacturing & Material and Computational Data-Intensive Science & Engineering. A new HPC Data Center, Workshop Space and Advanced Imaging Facilities are also underway. The “ring” structures, which are highlighted by the wood architectural fins are dedicated to various academic support functions and are also ready for occupancy.

It was a beautiful day in Moscow: the perfect setting to celebrate #Skoltech’s modern new campus building, while also making friends & enjoying music in the courtyard. Starting Monday is #InnovationWorkshop2018 – the “boot camp” experience for our incoming class of 350+ students. pic.twitter.com/5wbPLXLgE9 — Skoltech (@Skoltech) September 1, 2018
