The multidisciplinary research building opened in 2016. The pumps create vacuum of 2 Torr – about 29.8 in. Hg – at bench and fume hood ports; this is more than 2 orders of magnitude deeper than the 275 Torr (19 in. Hg) vacuum typical of central supply. Once the installation was complete, 12 of the 28 pumps were metered for 6 weeks to confirm
