Facilities
IQC is currently the principal occupant of the Research Advancement Centre, located in the University of Waterloo’s David Johnston Research & Technology Park.
The permanent home of the IQC will be in the Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre (QNC), currently under construction in a central location on the main campus of the University of Waterloo. On 9 June 2008, Mike and Ophelia Lazaridis, together with Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, UW President David Johnston, and other guests officially broke ground on the project which will consist of three areas: one to house IQC, one for the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology, and a clean fabrication and metrology suite to be shared between the two institutes. It will house offices, laboratory space, and areas for collaboration among researchers. The QNC is scheduled to open September 21, 2012.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
