The LBNF/DUNE project hosted by Fermilab has been named the Underground Construction Association’s 2026 Project of the Year.

The largest neutrino experiment in the United States was named the Project of the Year by the Underground Construction Association for completing a significant and challenging underground construction project with little or no issues.

Argonne researchers commissioned a device that filters out background signals in the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab, which seeks to observe a rare particle physics process. Such an observation would fundamentally change our understanding of the universe.

New Civil Engineer speaks with Fermilab about the planning that occurred over the course of most of a decade to excavate and construct the enormous caverns for LBNF/DUNE.

Fermilab has officially opened a new building named after the particle physicist Helen Edwards. The new building is the lab’s largest purpose-built lab and office space since the lab’s iconic Wilson Hall.

Fermilab’s newest leading-edge research building, named after renowned accelerator physicist Helen Edwards, was dedicated today in a formal ceremony with DOE, state and local officials. The newly-dedicated research center serves as a collaborative hub for engineers, technicians, scientists and experts from across the lab as Fermilab enters a new era of research.

A team rigging operators at SURF have completed 486 slung-loads down the Ross Shaft in support development of DUNE. This process involving the Ross Shaft will increase dramatically as construction of the DUNE cryostats starts early next year.

William Pellico received this year’s URA Honorary Engineering Award highlighting his innovative application of power-over-fiber technology for use in DUNE’s cryogenic environments.

DOE Office of Science will support two new areas of growth for Fermilab: high school student apprenticeship to expand the technicians’ teams and lab engineers in the
development of innovative ideas.

A group of engineers in the Engineering Services group at Argonne designed shielding doors for radiation protection and a crucial component of the DUNE detector for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
