It includes a $3 million, one-of-a-kind electron microscope for particle physics, optics labs, neutron lab and a living room. Informally, it’s a 139,000-square-foot building that goes by the acronym of PAIS. In Spanish, said Christopher Carian, senior project manager with UNM Planning, Design & Construction and project manager for the building, “país” means “country.” ................................................................ “That is a great name, since the facility brings together so many University of New Mexico science departments and outside science entities,” he said.
