Environment
Beautifully landscaped, Thailand Science Park has modern facilities to enable technology development and innovation creation. Located in the Park are the main NSTDA office building and the four national research centers - National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, National Metal and Materials Technology Center, National Nanotechnology Center, and National Electronics and Computer Technology Center - each with its own individual building. The Park also contains a convention center, an incubation center, pilot plants, and private-sector R&D laboratories. Other facilities include a library, an infirmary, a bank, a savings cooperative, a residence hall, a nursery (day care center), a grocery store, two food courts, an upscale cafe with Western flair, and a number of coffee shops, eateries, and even beauty parlors. Future expansion includes a plan to build a sports club, a science camp, and more industrial R&D labs.
The Park is ideally situated next to Asian Institute of Technology, Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, and Thammasat University, providing access to a continual supply of graduates of high calibre. Also located at the Park is the Technology Information Access Center (now become Science and Technology Knowledge Service Center or STKS), a provider of on-line information services, including access to relevant databases.

Famous quotes containing the word environment:
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.”
—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything. This is as true for the infant moving from kicking to crawling to walking as it is for the scientist with his equations. If the environment permits it, anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn; and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
“Today the young actors regard their environment with rage and disgust. They regard their Master not as disciples regard their Master, but as slaves regard their Master.”
—Judith Malina (b. 1926)
