We have access to  The Texas Tech University (TTU) Materials Characterization Center (MCC)  located in Room 013 of the Maddox Engineering Research Center (MERC) building.  The MCC is a part of the Edward E. Whitacre Jr.  College of Engineering. The MCC currently occupies 11 laboratories (area approximately 11,500 square feet), and it can be expanded in the future to have 13 laboratories in total (expansion area approximately 1,900 square feet). It is a multi-user facility designed to support a complete range of materials studies that include synthesis, analytical characterization, and applications testing of materials.
