Summary of SC Infrastructure

The Office of Science is responsible for ten laboratories and one facility.   The single-program laboratories are—Ames Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.  The Oak Ridge Institiute of Science and Education is an SC facility. The five multiprogram-laboratories are—Argonne National Laboratory-East, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. These five date from the Manhattan Project or the years immediately following World War II when the Atomic Energy Commission established the system of national laboratories to undertake its nuclear and defense missions.

SC labs support the Department's missions-- National Security, Science and Technology, Energy Security, and Environmental Quality.   Their facilities enable research in such diverse areas as structural biology, particle physics, combustion science, fusion energy, fossil energy, energy efficiency, and molecular chemistry. The laboratory buildings include laser, chemical, biological, electronic laboratories, accelerators, hot cells, and reactors. General purpose infrastructure includes administrative space, craft shops, fire stations, medical facilities, libraries, cafeterias, visitor centers, user buildings, security and communication facilities, computer centers, and general office/laboratory space.
