The University of Minnesota NMR Center:

The University of Minnesota NMR Center is a 14,000 GSF facility which houses several 900 MHz, 850 MHz, and 700 MHz and smaller shielded and unshielded magnets. The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility was constructed due to a new light rail alignment planned along Washington Avenue. The NMR facility was constructed in a structurally condemned parking garage under the existing Mayo Building.

FMS was engaged by BWBR Architect as the project’s EMF Consultant. The scope of services involved several rounds of site measurements, DC and Quasi DC source characterization measurements, computer modeling analysis for the planned electrical design upgrades, and the NMR instruments for spatial planning.

No passive or active EMI mitigation measures were required on this project.
