A facility perfectly situated for reliable service.

PARI was originally selected by NASA and the US Department of Defense (DoD) due to its geographic isolation and designed infrastructure.

The surrounding mountains provide an excellent insulator for extreme weather.
PARI’s infrastructure, designed and built to NASA and DOD specifications, is bonded to an expansive grounding network using large-scale cabling and is protected from damaging lightning strikes.
For added reliability, PARI has redundant systems in place for water, power, fire protection, and security.

PARI’s highly trained staff is well versed in today’s equipment and ready for tomorrow’s scientific advances. Many are second and third generation PARI employees who have decades of working knowledge of PARI’s operational systems and infrastructure.

A Safe and Secure Site.

PARI’s on-site security is overseen by a full-time Director of Security and 24/7 staff. Coded gates and AI security cameras alert staff to any late-night movement and response time can be as fast as 3 minutes.

Testimonials

“The world needs a place like PARI. Getting there is an adventure in itself, and touring the facility is equally fascinating. They have everything from moon rocks to remnants of the Cold War era, and the staff was exceptionally experienced and helpful. North Carolina is fortunate to have a gem like PARI that offers amazing access to scientific instruments, hands-on experiences, and worldwide research opportunities. I was lucky enough to visit the facility during a DUKE TIP session where I was able to see the students' innovative science projects. What a fantastic place for hands-on, STEM learning! MCNC is proud to support and collaborate with PARI as they continue to expand on their mission and successful programs while developing new ideas on how to benefit STEM education in North Carolina and beyond."

“Connectivity and data center solutions are two core services MCNC delivers to clients. MCNC is honored to be united with PARI to provide those essential services so they can continue to create excitement and bring great value to the citizens of North Carolina. Geography has been a hindrance for connectivity at PARI based on its remote and rural location, but MCNC has been able to leverage the power of the North Carolina Research and Education Network to help overcome those geographical obstacles and expand its mission, outreach, and successful programs through advanced networking. PARI’s facilities also enable MCNC to offer secure data center solutions in western North Carolina. PARI has been connected to NCREN for almost 15 years, and MCNC continues to support their goal is to provide world-class educational opportunities for all students in every geographic location.”
