Cal (IT)2 – University of California, Irvine
Location: Irvine, California
The California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Cal IT2) is a new high-technology research and development facility at the University of California at Irvine. The project is one of the California State Institutes for Science and Innovation that was initiated and funded by the Governor’s Office. The new building provides a physical platform for a wide range of multidisciplinary projects and programs for the School of Engineering, the Office of Academic Computing, Environmental Science, Media Arts and the School of Education. Cal IT2 supports these programs’ research in information technology and innovative uses of digital media.
Encompassing 120,000 square feet of research and academic space in four stories, the building includes a combination of clean rooms for silicon chip-based manufacturing processes, wet and dry laboratories, classrooms, offices, and meeting facilities. Included are rooms for experimental media and a gallery for the display and demonstration of experiments in new media and technology. The building is composed of two major wings, one for research, manufacturing, and classrooms and the other for a 100-seat multi-media lecture, media center, and Institute offices.
