Georgia Tech Mourigal Laboratory

Located on the second floor of Georgia Tech’s Howey Physics building, the Mourigal laboratory is designed to accommodate sample preparation equipment for the study of collective electronic and magnetic phenomena in quantum materials. Leapley renovated the lab and its associated offices to support new equipment including furnaces, glove-boxes and hoods, X-ray generating equipment, and cryogenic facilities to explore materials’ properties at low temperatures and under magnetic fields. The team installed a new roof top unit and eight lab supply valves for an on-time completion before classes resumed in the lab.
