SERC Building

TMI laboratories and staff are housed in a brand new, state-of-the-art building on Temple University’s Main Campus, the Science Education and Research Center (SERC) building. TMI faculty, staff, and students occupy space in the basement and the fourth, fifth, and seventh floors of SERC. Overall, SERC provides 250,000 sq. ft. of space to education and interdisciplinary research, with extensive expertise in materials science, computational science, genomics, bioinformatics, computer science, and structural biology present on site. Both the SERC and TMI spaces are designed with largely open floor plans to foster interdisciplinary interactions and cooperation.

TMI fosters a campus-wide network that brings together multiple research and tenure-track faculty members, staff scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and students with diverse interests, including

• Bulk Solids and Thin Films
• Energy and Sustainability
• Magnetics
• Nanomaterials and Plasmonics
• Soft Matter
• Strategic Materials
• Theory and Computation

Each faculty member has over 200 sq. ft. of office space, with scientific staff and administrative staff located on floors 4 and 7 of SERC. Each floor has multiple small and large conference rooms.
