You might have noticed a lot of new construction at Berkeley Lab’s main hill site recently. Our 92-year old Lab is undergoing a historic period of modernization. New scientific facilities, along with improvements to the site infrastructure and renewal of obsolete laboratories, will improve the reliability and availability of our scientific facilities for decades to […]
SEI Team Delivers with Teamwork
Berkeley Lab was built on the idea that solving problems requires teamwork. The Scientific Equipment Installation (SEI) team uses teamwork to help researchers with the sometimes complex infrastructure requirements needed to install new scientific equipment. SEI is a partnership between two divisions: Projects & Infrastructure Modernization and Facilities.

Foundations Rise for Welcome Center
The outline of the new cafeteria, conference, and welcome center facility is beginning to take shape at the Seismic Safety and Modernization project site managed by PIMD. The new 47,743-square-foot building will encompass modern, flexible spaces designed to meet Berkeley Lab’s dining, health services, and conference space needs. It is currently projected to open in […]
Centennial Bridge Improvement Project Nears Completion
Berkeley Lab’s East Canyon area will be a little easier to navigate this summer as UC Berkeley’s Centennial Bridge Improvement Project winds down. Scheduled to be completed by late June 2024, the project replaces a bridge on a critical transportation route that passes over the Lab’s Bertozzi Road and connects parts of the UC Berkeley […]
Celebrating Women in Construction Week 2024
For the third year, Berkeley Lab’s Projects & Infrastructure Modernization Division will celebrate Women in Construction Week, which recognizes the role and contributions of women in the construction industry. This year’s theme is “Keys to the Future,” highlighting the vital role women play in the industry’s future.
What to Expect: Projects & Infrastructure Modernization
At 93 years old, Berkeley Lab constantly races to build new facilities and renew its aging infrastructure to support world-class science. Millard “Skip” Dunham, Deputy Director of the Projects & Infrastructure Modernization Division, really hopes that Nobel research will be done one day in a building he helped build.
A Major Construction Milestone for the Lab
Rain and unexpected challenges didn’t stop Berkeley Lab’s Projects & Infrastructure Modernization Division from completing a major milestone last week, successfully moving and installing several utilities as part of the preparation for the Seismic Safety and Modernization facility.
What to Expect: Operations
E.O. Lawrence might not recognize the institution he started almost 100 years ago. The mission is the same; the people are still intellectually curious and dedicated, but the physical infrastructure has changed. Michael Brandt, Berkeley Lab’s Deputy Director for Operations, and Chief Operating Officer, sat down with Elements to discuss what to expect from Operations […]
New Parking Spaces Created in Former Old Town
A partnership between Berkeley Lab’s Projects & Infrastructure Modernization Division and the Parking & Transportation office will lead to at least 40 new parking spaces in what was the Old Town area of the Lab’s hill site, in a part of the Lab’s hill site with high parking demand. Read how this partnership works together […]
