Research Facilities
Applied Science has research facilities in several buildings on campus and long-standing collaborations with two nearby Federal laboratories.
Integrated Science Center
The Integrated Science Center (ISC 1) (ISC 2) was constructed to integrate William and Mary’s science programs; allowing increased opportunity for multidisciplinary research. Currently, the ISC is the only place on campus where courses and research projects in Applied Science, Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscience, Physics and Psychology exists in the same building. The third phase of the Integrated Science Center (ISC3) is now home to the Department of Applied Science. ISC4 is scheduled for completion in 2025.
SciClone
Research Computing maintains many HPC resources which are free to use for faculty, staff and students working on research / classroom projects. We have two main HPC clusters, one on main-campus (sciclone) and one on VIMS campus (chesapeake). The combined double-precision floating point operations per second (or FLOPS) for all HPC resources between both campuses is about 600 TFLOPS, or 600 trillion per second.
Jefferson Lab
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Newport News is 17 miles from the William & Mary campus.
NASA Langley Research Center
NASA Langley Research Center (NASA LaRC) is located in Hampton, 32 miles by interstate highway from the William & Mary campus. NASA-LaRC, one of NASA's nine principal research centers, employs 2800 including 1300 science and engineering professionals.
Owing to security regulations at NASA-LaRC, foreign nationals are not likely to have access to the facilities at LaRC.
