Nevis Laboratories, Irvington, New York

Nevis Laboratories are located on a scenic 60-acre estate originally owned by the son of Alexander Hamilton. The duPont family of Delaware donated the estate to the University in 1934, and construction of physics facilities at Nevis began in 1947. In the early 1950's Dwight D. Eisenhower, then President of the University, inaugurated what was then the world's most powerful cyclotron, which was eventually retired in 1978.
