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.
