Maintenance
The Maintenance Service is in charge of the maintenance and conservation of the building, of all its facilities and of the equipment. It works from the year 1991, when the Institute moved to the new building. It is also responsible for all the equipment, materials and tools (mechanic, electronic and electric) available to all the ICMAB personnel. During 2017 the Maintenance staff was increased by 2.
New laboratories and offices
During 2017, three new laboratories were under construction in the MATGAS building, a Cleanroom and a Chemistry Lab, which were completed by the end of 2017, corresponding to the ERC-Ultrasupertapes, and a Chemistry Lab, corresponding to the ERC-Nest, and a Chemistry and a Physics Lab, corresponding to the ERC-Tmol4Trans, which will be completed in 2018.
Moreover, during 2017 a total of 13 offices and tables were installed in the MATGAS building, giving space to nearly 50 researchers (PhD and postdoc fellows and senior researchers). At the ICMAB building, some space has been relocated and made available for more tables. Moreover, the kitchen was remodeled and a new terrace with tables for the lunch time was created.
