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:
“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)
“People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can’t know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do—after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world’s anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“White males are the most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
