Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory Tour
Wilson Hall, Batavia, IL 60510
630) 840-3127 |
The AEE Chicago Chapter, in conjunction with the IEEE Chicago Section, Fox Valley
Sub-Section, and Joint Chapter on Engineering Management and Professional
Communication invite you to a guided tour to show some of the world class
research and energy management initiatives being done at the Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois.
-
Fermilab is a US DOE facility
located about one mile north of I-88 at the Farnsworth Exit. It is located on 8
square miles of land and is home to the super-conducting Tevatron, which is the
world’s most powerful accelerator probing the secrets of the sub-atomic world.
Visitors can enter and leave only via Fermilab’s west gate on Farnsworth (it
is actually called Kirk Road north of I-88) at Pine Street (look for the steel
arch at the entrance).
-
You will get to see key facilities
pertaining to operation of the accelerator, world-class cancer treatment,
and the mysterious world of quantum physics where time dilation and other
dimensions come into play. The tour will also take you to see the $15
million improvements made to the Central Utility Plant at no cost to the
government. This is part of a much larger partnership program on site with
local utility companies, which allows such investments to be paid back over
time from savings. Fermilab will explain how your facility may be able to
benefit from similar programs.
