The University of California is involved in the management of three laboratories on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) — the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL) and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), both in California, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico. UC has been involved in the management of these laboratories since their inception — a relationship spanning seven decades — as a public service to the nation. The three laboratories have a combined workforce of more than 21,000 and operate on federally financed budgets totaling more than $4 billion. UC and the National Labs: More on the laboratories' contributions to health, national security, the environment and the community.
