From Physics World, February 3, 2022: Fermilab’s Wilson Hall was included and discussed in this episode of Physics World Weekly podcast about what makes a good physics building. At 17:25, Wilson Hall is described as one of the most beautiful buildings in physics and was very modern for 1960’s architecture when cement was so prevalently used in building construction.

From Civil + Structure Engineer, March 1, 2021: Fermilab’s new Integrated Engineering Research Center is a 85,000-square-foot, two-story structure that will be a combination of laboratories, offices, and collaborative spaces to support ongoing particle physics research, including the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
From ENR, Jan. 18, 2021: The upcoming two-story Integrated Engineering Research Center will provide Fermilab staff and users with highly modular, flexible working environment. In its plan, the architecture team sought to maximize flexibility for wherever science may take particle physics over the next 50 years.
From Building, Design and Construction, Sept. 14, 2020: This fall, construction is scheduled to begin on the Integrated Engineering Research Center, an 85,000-square-foot infrastructure project at Fermilab. Lots of natural light and hybrid labs will distinguish the new center.
Fermilab’s Short-Baseline Neutrino program buildings, which translate the requirements of neutrino experiments into architecture, win ALA Gold Award.
In the early 1970s, many of us were working lots of overtime, about 12-hour days. One day, I’d just gotten home when I got a phone call: “We need your help.”
