Reflections of Fermilab

Gorgeous nighttime reflections from late September.

What a difference (almost) a year makes for IERC, PIP-II

Same point of view, now with much of a building constructed in the upper right-hand corner, and the roof of a nearby building in the lower left foreground.

In September 2020 and August 2021, the eighth floor of Wilson Hall offers two very different views of the IERC and PIP-II construction sites.

Project Profile: Fermilab, Integrated Engineering Research Center

From Lab Manager, June 29, 2021: The new Fermilab Integrated Engineering Research Center (IERC) is the first cross-divisional facility on Fermilab’s campus spanning over 79,208 gross sq. ft. The IERC will serve as an integrator for various research efforts and is expected to be complete June 2022.

Wilson Hall and IERC in spring

On May 13, 2021, blue skies and green grass surround Wilson Hall and IERC.

Framing IERC

In the foreground, orange cones with orange and white tape bar off the site. In the background, a blue sky with white clouds.

Here, structural steel is being erected for the new Integrated Engineering Research Center, or IERC, building. In April 2021, the IERC team completed the steel structure for the new building.

Construction continues on the Integrated Engineering Research Center. The steel structure for the building has been completed. IERC is expected to be completed in October 2022. construction, campus, IERC, Integrated Engineering Research Center Photo: Ryan Postel

Construction of the Integrated Engineering Research Center continues. Plus, an updated rendering of IERC.

Wilson Hall atrium-level restrooms closed through November

Beginning Monday, April 26 through November 30, the Wilson Hall atrium-level restrooms will be closed to make way for the new Integrated Engineering Research Center crossover. There will be signage directing people to the three restrooms on the ground floor and the two restrooms on the second floor. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we build the lab’s future.

When complete, the IERC building will provide state-of-the-art facilities that will enable the design and construction of high-performance particle physics detectors. Photo: Ryan Postel

On Monday, April 12, several members of the IERC project team took part in an outdoor event with the IERC general contractor, Mortenson, to mark a significant milestone: completion of the steel structure for the building.

IERC in progress

On March 26, 2021, construction on the Integrated Engineering Research Center continues.

IERC-related work in Wilson Hall will begin in April

Construction work in Wilson Hall as part of the Integrated Engineering Research Center project is tentatively scheduled to begin on Monday, April 26. This will include portions of the ground floor near the east entrance and portions of the atrium level including the restrooms, One East conference room, Office of Communication suite, small dining room and vending area. Note that the existing atrium restrooms will be taken out of service at this time while the new restrooms are constructed. Work…
