The Instituto Tecnológico e Nuclear (ITN), a scientific campus located in Sacavém, in the northern outskirts of Lisbon, has been scheduled to be integrated into IST. This leads to a redefinition of the location of the ESTHER Kinetic Shock-Tube hosting building, which will be built – along with other new laboratories pertaining to IPFN – in the Sacavém ITN campus. The previous architecture plan for the hosting building has been essentially retained, with the exception that the hosting facility will now be a standalone building instead of being integrated into a larger building.
