Facilities

Our state-of-the-art facilities include the National Petascale Computing Facility as well the NCSA Building, which houses most of our staff and programs. As a national center operating in the public interest, we offer academic computing and conference capabilities, as well as public tours open to students, community groups and all those with a curious nature and a couple of hours to explore. Pay parking is readily available at both facilities.

Questions about NCSA’s facilities and events expertise, and services?

NCSA staff and programs are mainly headquartered at our Administration Building which can also be used for events.

From spaces that accommodate individuals to groups, our collaborative spaces include equipment and technologies to get the job done.

NCSA invites groups interested in science, technology and innovation to tour our facilities and learn more about what we do.
