The [[Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences]] (FCIEMAS) opened in August 2004. [[Research]] facilities focus on the fields of [[photonics]], [[bioengineering]], communications, and [[materials science]] and [[materials engineering]]. The aim of the building was to emphasize interdisciplinary activities and encourage cross-departmental interactions. The building houses numerous wet bench [[Laboratory|laboratories]] (highlighted by a world-class [[nanotechnology]] research wing), offices, teaching spaces, and a café.<ref name="Facilities2" /> FCIEMAS is also home to the Master of Engineering Management Program offices. The construction of FCIEMAS took more than three years and cost more than [[USD|$97]] million.
