As an interim solution, a legacy building in the Village, Lab 2, will partially fill this need until the new facility is constructed. However, this building will not be operational until FY18, and additional production space is needed in FY16. It will connect the Industrial Center Building and Industrial Building 3. The laboratory is developing a project to construct a new high-bay building in the Technical Campus called the ICB Addition. Additionally, the Integrated Engineering Research Center continues to make progress as the project team assesses various siting options and determines which functions can be relocated to this new building, which would include some visitor and user space.Īnother recent example of a transitional bridge is future production space supporting cryomodule development and fabrication. If funded, this project will begin the large-scale modernization of Wilson Hall to increase population density by moving to more standardized floor plans with reconfigurable furnishings. While we have lost the CDF and DZero trailers, I am pleased to report that the laboratory was successful in demonstrating a need for improvements to Wilson Hall that resulted in the inclusion of a $9 million project in the FY16 President’s Budget Request. While removal of these trailers was necessary to mitigate what was becoming a high-maintenance area because of increased deterioration of these “temporary facilities,” it comes at a time when the laboratory is in need of space for summer programs with teachers, students and an increasing number of users supporting the muon and neutrino programs.
This was recently evident in the demolition of the CDF and DZero trailer complexes, a first step in our transition.
