Work is on track for the planned opening next year of ASU’s Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building 12, which will set the stage for a major expansion of the university’s Polytechnic campus and provide a dedicated hub for the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks, part of the Fulton Schools. ISTB 12’s features will include research labs and instructional and collaboration spaces to support education in semiconductor manufacturing, additive manufacturing, robotics for smart manufacturing and industry automation, cyber manufacturing and operations research, as well as manufacturing systems for the energy sector. The project is also part of a master plan that includes developing an Innovation Research District adjacent to the campus.
