April 6, 2004 Proposal for Fermilab Visitor Center 2
Adjusting to post-9/11
• 2002 plans for updating 15th floor put on hold
• No more self-guided tours
• Need to find solution within constraints of heightened national security concerns
• Solution needs to work at all alert levels

April 6, 2004 Proposal for Fermilab Visitor Center 3
Finding a solution
• Worked with exhibit planners AldrichPears Associates to develop options (Master Plan)
• Talked to scientists and members of the Education Office to explore opportunities (workshops and interviews in spring 2003)
• Presented Master Plan to Fermilab Directorate (Sept. 2003)Recommendation: Build a visitor center

April 6, 2004 Proposal for Fermilab Visitor Center 4
Progress so far
• Got support for idea from M. Witherell• Got money from URA to develop idea in
more detail (Dec. 2003)• Finish “sales brochure” (April 2004) • Refine plans with your help (FY2005)• Get money for construction and exhibits

April 6, 2004 Proposal for Fermilab Visitor Center 5
Funding possibilities
• Funding has to come from outside sources (not Fermilab budget)- Congress- science funding agencies- private donations
• Budget will be handled by nonprofit org

April 6, 2004 Proposal for Fermilab Visitor Center 6
Proposal for visitor program
• Key features of proposal:- Build a new visitor center, outside secure
zone with a broad range of exhibits - Link the new visitor center to Lederman
Science Center (site of formal education programs)
- Zone the site into public and restricted areas- Guided tours of the site - Improve exhibits at the science facilities
(satellite exhibits, initially focusing on Linac/MCR, CDF, DZero, MINOS)

April 6, 2004 Proposal for Fermilab Visitor Center 7
Goals for the visitor experience
• Making friends, gaining support- build a strong relationship with the local
community- create a base of support for Fermilab and
particle physics in general- educate and inspire students and the public

April 6, 2004 Proposal for Fermilab Visitor Center 8
The Visitor Center• Location:
- Close to Lederman Center, which is:- outside secure zone- close to main entrance (Pine Street)
• Architecture:- Provide optimal exhibit area (25-foot ceiling)- Recognize Wilson legacy
• Plans are not final. All aspects will be reconsidered when funding is available

April 6, 2004 Proposal for Fermilab Visitor Center 9
Environmental stewardship
• Philosophy of sustainable building• Follow LEED standards (Leadership in
Energy and Engineering Design)• Aim for Silver certification
- innovative mechanical systems- use of renewable energy- careful selection of material- waste minimization

Alternatives
• Considered locating the visitor center north (rather than south) of LSC, relocating Pine Street and security checkpoint
• Considered more industrial look with high roof (exhibit area with 25 foot ceiling)
• Plans will be reconsidered when funding is available
