OverviewIllinois Accelerator Research Center

(IARC)July 2010R Kephart

IARC Primary Goals

• Basic goal is to make Fermilab and Northern Illinois a world class center for accelerator development and to initiate/promote/support related industry in Illinois.

• IARC is jointly supported by the State of Illinois (DCEO grant) and the U.S. DOE, office of HEP

• IARC will provide infrastructure, office space, and support facilities that will increase the probability that new accelerators like Project X and ILC are sited at Fermilab and allow industry to more easily work with us.

• IARC will support training of scientists and engineers in accelerator physics and related technology via work with local universities.

Possible Secondary Goals

• Office space for FNAL accelerator staff• Home for Project X, or Illinois Accel institute?• Infrastructure to support construction of Px, incl

specialized infra for a CW linac • Additional lab conference rooms• Public Outreach: Green building; prominent;

visually appealing• Consolidate central FNAL campus

Education• Engaging NIU and perhaps U of C, to create an

accelerator education program in IARC • Accelerators are becoming crucial to our economy but

we are not training scientists, engineers, and technical workers– New FNAL-NIU joint appointment, total 3 accelerator physicists now on staff– Courses taught by FNAL staff– Builds on existing NIU RF power training courses (AD

engineers)

• Considering hosting the Illinois Accelerator Institute http://www.illinoisacceleratorinstitute.org/ a joint FNAL-ANL venture in IARC. (Rog Gerig is ANL contact)

History

• Submitted a proposal to Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) in 2006

• DCEO’s mission is to promote Industry and high tech Federal projects in Illinois. IARC attractive to them because leverages the Federal investments at FNAL and ANL

• Original emphasis was to attract ILC and FRIB to Illinois, also education, industry. Requested $ 35 M for new building.

• Proposal hung up for several years as Illinois failed to pass Capital Bill. Proposal modified to be more generic ( Project X, ILC, and industrial accelerators)

• $ 31 B Capital Bill passed in 2009• Contained $ 20 M for the IARC building as a grant from

DCEO to be funded with sale of bonds

History

• Less than the $ 35 M request, unlikely to get more from the State Had to make a viable plan with $ 20 M

• Oct 2009: Presentation to Dennis Kovar of IARC plan– Obtained commitment from DOE for major contribution to IARC

( $ 13 M in site development, conceptual design, FESS project oversight and $37 M commitment for refurbished CDF assembly building)

• Dec 2009: DCEO survey form submitted.– Included “Scope of Work”, conceptual design, cost estimate,

Federal leverage, and funding profile. – David Parr, DCEO is the contact

History

• Feb 2010: – IARC Conceptual Building design options completed by A&E firm

Ross Barney Associates (RBA) with DOE funds. – Functional Review of IARC building designs with FNAL Sr Staff.

• May 2010: Approval letter from DOE Site office to build IARC, discussions of WFO, etc.

• May-Jun 2010: Discussions with Andy Ross in Gov Quinn’s office and DCEO to get IARC funds released

• Jun 2010:– Director selects final IARC building design– Call from DCEO indicating IARC to be funded in 2010– Flurry of activity to provided needed documents to DCEO and

approve grant before July 1 end of State Fiscal year.• July 2010: IARC DCEO grants approved!• Final WFO document in progress

Two State Grants: $3M & $17M

We have received checks for full amount

Building Design

• Building conceptual design well developed by outside A&E firm ( Ross Barney) and Engineering firm (ARUP) using DOE funds

• Slides from June Ross Barney presentation follow

IARC MISSION: Make Northern Illinois a center for accelerator development Provide office space and infrastructure to position Fermilab as a

premier location for the siting of new accelerators and allow industry to work easily with Fermilab

Provide a location for industrial, university, and laboratory partners with access to vital resources, such as infrastructure and trained accelerator and technology experts, necessary to develop new accelerator components.

Offer spaces for the training of scientists and engineers in accelerator physics and related technology

Create space for exhibits that will highlight various aspects of accelerator science and its various connections and applications throughout the world.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Meet the functional needs of the IARC mission Generate a dramatic, high profile building Produce a building that incorporates Fermi design philosophy Strengthen ability to attract new physics projects Maximize State funding with “bricks & mortars” Create a symbiotic relationship to existing CDF building CDF truck access must be maintained High degree of flexibility for rotating tenants State-of-the-art computing and video capabilities Accommodate parking Design to LEED Gold

Illinois Accelerator Research Center (IARC)Consists of three (3) planning elements:

Office, Education and Technical Building (OTE) High Bay (existing CDF building) Parking

Issues for further discussion

• Funding FESS and GPP site prep project– Integration with Industrial Area Upgrades Plan– Need GPP (or IGPP?) directive in place ASAP

• Resolving A&E issues– Continue somehow with RBA? ( Procurement issues)– Bringing new A&E up to speed quickly to meet state schedule

• Impacts of IARC construction on others– On traffic (ie road modifications and utility realignment)– On accelerator operations– On CDF operations – Need to fully explore these, but we think we can arrange these to be

minimal.• Decommissioning plan for CDF vs IARC plan• ARRA II funds ?• Schedule

Site Prep GPP Project

• IARC to be integrated into Industrial Area Upgrades Program:

• Industrial Area Site Upgrades (IASU)• Office, Technical & Educational (OTE) Building• OTE Outfitting• CDF Building Repurposing & Remodeling• Industrial Facilities Consolidation

• Need to have IASU GPP directive in place so that work is not held up by likely FY11 CR

DOE Funding Profile

Funding FESS for IARC Mgmt

ARRA II Potential Projects“What do we assume about this?”

CDF Repurposing & Remodeling: TEC $5MThe 30 year-old CDF building will require upgrading and modernization involving necessary improvements for accessibility, life safety, and sustainability. In addition to basic building systems modernization including offices, restrooms, lunch room, and elevator system, construction of a connecting link to the OTE Building will be provided to allow for the CDF office spaces and heavy assembly areas to be fully integrated with the OTE Building.

Industrial Area Site Improvements: TEC $5.5MIt is anticipated that the Industrial Area will be undergoing several significant improvements. Maintaining a dependable base from which science programs can be accomplished is dependent upon maintainable and flexible utility systems. End-of-life utilities must be upgraded, replaced and re-aligned. The existing Industrial area will become a fully integrated campus necessitating the need for safety improvements to vehicular and pedestrian travel routes. With the addition of training and conference centers in the area existing parking is becoming over-burdened. A new parking lot is required.

Restore Scope to IARC: Furnishings (or OTE Building Furnishings) TEC: $9.5MThe new OTE Building will be designed to be a highly flexible building including a modular demountable partition system. New demountable partitions with compatible furnishings and fixtures will be installed. In addition, open office cubicles, conference room furnishings including state of the art integrated technology capabilities, telecommunication/data systems, cafeteria fit-up, exhibit area display areas, and general office equipment will be required.

Updated ScheduleTo Meet 2-year State Requirement

Summary

• IARC building is now funded • Conceptual IARC building design and parking

scheme have been selected by the Director• Planning for site prep is advanced• Have 2 yrs to build this building• Need more detailed plan of CDF refurbishment• Now that IARC is real, we need to work on

planning the detailed “program”, initial occupants, etc for this building
