FAQs

What is the purpose of the move?
The move will allow the Lab to end Building 937’s $1.8 million annual lease, which will free up funds that can benefit the entire Lab. In addition, to best support the Lab’s scientific mission, it is important to bring all members of the Lab’s operations staff to the main site, where they can work in close collaboration with the entire Lab community.

Who is managing the move?
The Facilities Division is managing the move. Facilities Division staff have mapped out a strategy that makes the best use of the Lab’s already very efficient office space.

Who is impacted?
Roughly ten percent of Lab staff will move, but all Lab staff will be impacted by the largest Lab move in a decade.
