LANL TA-3 Buildings 32, 34, and 1698
Building 32, the Center for Material Science (also called the Cryogenics Building A), and Building 34, the Cryogenics Building B (also called the Condensed Matter and Thermal Physics Laboratory) , are used for materials research. Although Building 32 is known as the Center for Material Science (Figure 4-3, Sheet 2), the building is one of several that serve a Laboratory program focusing on material sciences. Scientists at the center are involved in developing and bringing material science work to the Laboratory. Building 32, used for cryogenics research, uses liquid nitrogen. Building 34’s ground-floor laboratories are used for condensed matter and thermal physics research. Downstairs is the Ion Beam Materials Laboratory.
