Maintenance and Services

The ICN2 Maintenance and Services Department was established in 2007 with the objective of maintaining existing spaces and overseeing the construction of a new building. Currently, the department manages facilities across two buildings and plays a vital role in shaping new spaces.

The main building (ICN2 building), with a constructed area of 6,565 m2 , is structured into 50 research laboratories, 13 shared spaces (e.g., warehouses, meeting rooms, dining room) and 14 common laboratories that provide cross-disciplinary support to research activities. Notable among these are a Biolab and a Nano-manufacturing Room, which commenced operations in 2018. The second building boasts a usable area of 560 m2, distributed across 9 research laboratories, 43 workstations and 4 infrastructure spaces.

The Maintenance and Services Department has been instrumental in managing various challenges, ensuring that all laboratories and spaces remain in optimal conditions, undertaking building remodelling projects, and overseeing the management of external service providers such as those involved in cleaning, gardening, reception, security, courier and post.
