 | | A multimillion dollar clean room left behind two years ago when Seagate Technologies moved into its $40 million research center in Pittsburgh's Strip District is being dismantled after attempts to preserve the unique facility failed. |
 | | Seagate, the world's leading provider of computer hard disk drives, established its research division in Pittsburgh after luring away Mark Kryder, one of the world's top research scientists in storage technology, from his post at Carnegie Mellon University. |
 | | Akustica cofounder Ken Gabriel previously said the abandoned clean room could be used by companies in a variety of sectors, including microelectromechanical systems, such as biotechnology, opto-electronics, photonics, nanotechnology and semiconductors, with up to 10 small companies at a time sharing the room for research and development activities. |
