MIT.nano offers storage cubbies inside the Fab.nano cleanroom (Building 12) and in the 5th floor packaging area for users to store their active and in-process samples, notebooks, and supplies. In addition to helping researchers have a place to keep these items, these cubbies help MIT.nano maintain the pristine cleanroom environment by eliminating constant exit and re-entry of these items.
MIT.nano has several sizes of storage cubbies available:
- Standard ($15/month): 12” wide x 18” deep
- Large ($30/month): 24” wide x 18” deep, intended for storing boxes of 6" wafers.
- XL 200mm ($50/month): 24" wide x 18" deep with a larger opening to accommodate 200mm wafer boxes.
- Deep XL ($100/month): 26" wide x 36" deep, intended for storing larger quantities of wafer boxes.

3. Be prepared for a monthly charge to your Fab.nano account in NEMO.
MIT.nano charges a monthly fee for storage spaces. The cost is to prevent people from unnecessary storage and hoarding spaces, as well as to empty their cubby when they graduate.
We want to reiterate that these storage cubbies are for active and in-process samples, notebooks, and supplies only. Chemicals and labware are not allowed to be stored in these locations; we have separate processes for bringing in and storing those items if needed. If a lock is required for your work, email kpayer@mit.edu to set up a lock provided by MIT.nano.
