The Georgia Institute of Technology is scheduled to receive a $1 million grant for the construction of new research facilities under terms of an agreement with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The agreement provides for the building of one of two similar structures in a projected Space Science Technology Center at Georgia Tech. The proposed two‐story building will house facilities for laboratory research in atmospheric sciences, materials and structures, transport phenomena, and systems engineering. Georgia Tech will build a matching structure with funds from other sources.
