Computational Sciences Facility
BSF/CSF Building Dedication Ceremony Photo Album - 10/09
Project Manager Greg Herman, Laboratory Director Mike Kluse, and Project Manager Paul Dotson, listen as lead architect Gary Watkins explains the next phases of construction on the Biological Sciences Facility and the Computational Sciences Facility.
Erection of structural steel began on the Computational Sciences Facility, a private-developed facility now under construction west of EMSL.
The CSF shares a two-story, transparent atrium with the Biological Sciences Facility. Foundations including the raised concrete computer floor space are now complete for the CSF. Both facilities — together valued at about $75 million — will partially replace laboratory and office space PNNL has been using on the south end of the nearby Hanford Site. That space must be vacated by 2011 to make way for the federal government's environmental cleanup activities at Hanford.
