The refurbishment of the lab space begun in August 2024 with an expected completion in early 2025 with delivery of key pieces of equipment and receipt of the laser systems later that year.
The first diffraction experiments are expected by the end of 2026.
All chillers, vacuum pumps & controller panels will be housed in dedicated plant room separate from the main LUXD lab to reduce noise and decouple vibrations from the instruments.
