David Duffield: Duffield Hall
built 630 days ago
Duffield Hall is named for Engineering alumnus David Duffield '62 EE. It is one of the nations's most sophisticated research and teaching facilities for nanoscale science and engineering. Duffield supports research and instruction in electronic and photonic devices, microelectromechanical devices, advanced materials processing, and biotechnology devices.

Among the more than 20 donors recognized were John Swanson (who endowed the position of Duffield Hall facilities director, held by Bill Bader, and who ... has an atrium named in his honor) and Chuck Knight and the Knight family. In 1979 Chuck Knight's father, Lester B. Knight Jr., provided funding for the CNF's Lester B. Knight Jr. Laboratory. Chuck Knight has continued his late father's legacy by providing funds for Duffield's second- and third-floor Knight laboratories. As the donors were introduced, their names appeared on a large projection screen above a podium set up on the raised level of Duffield's Mattin Café.

Duffield Hall, Cornell’s cutting-edge facility for nanotechnology and advanced materials, opens this fall. When it does, it will be the best place in the world for doing and studying nanoscience. It is the first of three new facilities at the core of the university’s New Life Sciences Initiative.

Duffield notes that the new building is one of the cornerstones of Cornell's New Life Sciences Initative. "We want to keep Cornell at the forefront of science," he says. "Duffield Hall is a spectacular place."

Duffield Hall (left) was built adjacent to the existing Phillips (rear) and Upson (right) halls, and new atriums were constructed to link the three buildings. The creation of Duffield and demolition of the existing Knight Laboratory led to the design of a new engineering quad, replacing an existing quad that was differently configured (green space in foreground).

With the grand opening and dedication of Duffield Hall on Oct. 6, 2004, Cornell University is uniquely poised to serve the needs of nanoscale scientists at Cornell, across the nation and around the world. Whether they meet in the cantilevered conference room overlooking the Engineering Quad, in the clean rooms of the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility and the Nanobiotechnology Center, in state-of-the-art faculty labs or the flexible graduate student space, Duffield Hall is a beacon for researchers whose work is measured on the smallest of scales. more »
