“AdvanceTEC’s engineering and cleanroom construction expertise enabled us build a world class nanotechnology facility within the budgetary and building constraints allotted. To our delight, their dedicated team brought our project to completion on time, within budget, and to specification.”
Paul Manning, Director of Project Management, Duke University

AdvanceTEC is a leader in cleanroom design and cleanroom construction for university clientUniversity Projects - Cleanrooms

AdvanceTEC is a leader in cleanroom design and cleanroom construction for university clients. We realize that performing cleanroom projects on university campuses requires more than just understanding the technologies involved. It requires a unique approach, working as a part of a team with faculty, research partners, A/E firms, construction managers and general contractors. We know how to operate safely on an active campus, and understand what it takes to deliver successful university cleanroom projects.

Whether designing and constructing a nanotechnology fab, a nano/bio cleanroom, or a BSL3 facility, AdvanceTEC understands what it takes to execute a successful project on an active university campus.
