Wave-Form: IIT Students
Shed Light on Wilson Hall | ||
| ||
|
When architecture students Uriel Ortega and Hugh Whitmore signed up for Chris
White's class at IIT this year, they had no idea they would be tested not only
by their professor, but by Fermilab employees as well. The main focus of the
class was to design a temporary art installation for Wilson Hall that would both reflect
the work that goes on here at the lab and invite outsiders to see particle physics
in a new light. Last week, the two came to Fermilab to present their vision,
called Wave-Form.
Ortega and Whitmore propose to suspend an array of fluorescent lights between the east and west towers of Wilson Hall, continuing the existing lighting pattern in surrounding offices. The lights would show changes in the building's sunlight and sound level by dimming and brightening, and "would act as a kind of activity detector," explained Whitmore. Viewers from the atrium or any floor of the building could pinpoint louder areas in the open space by watching changes in light intensity, and would appreciate the shape and volume of this extraordinary building in a very new way.
"We really believe that this would add a lot to the lab's public outreach,"
said Ortega. "The installation would create conversation and discussion
between scientists and people who might not otherwise come to the lab."
In the very early stages of development, this project is still just an
exciting prospect, but Ortega and Whitmore expect to return to the lab in
the next few weeks to present the idea to more people. Funding for the
project would be provided through external grants.

From Tri-City Herald, July 22, 2005 National Science Foundation rejects Leavenworth lab site LEAVENWORTH, Wash. (AP) - The National Science Foundation has rejected a proposal to build a $300 million underground science laboratory under Mount Cashmere in central Washington.
The lab would have been built more than a mile underground in the Icicle Canyon of the Wenatchee National Forest, 9 miles west of this Cascade Mountain resort town.

Safety First Fermilab has made great strides in working safely and reducing injuries over the last few years. Fermilab's injury rate is now among the lowest in the DOE complex. While the statistics reflect a high level of safety, it's not the numbers themselves that matter but the fact that Fermilab people are not getting hurt on the job. Although we are doing well, however, we cannot relax. Our goal is to maintain the momentum and to keep improving safety, as a
Safety must be embedded in everything we do. Organizations with high levels of safety show a commitment to safety not only by their leadership, but across all levels. We must begin every activity with thoughtful planning for safety and continue by faithfully following the plan. Some hazardous activities have written safety procedures, but we must approach even everyday activities with consideration for safety. Part of working safely is being aware of the activities around us and speaking up when we see unsafe activities and conditions. Coworkers are empowered to stop unsafe work. The expectations of peers in the workplace create a powerful motivation for safety. We must also continue to learn from every event that involves safety, no matter how small, so that we can ferret out unsafe conditions that may exist before they lead to serious consequences.
As your director, I will do everything in my power to make Fermilab the
safest possible place to work, so that everyone at Fermilab goes home
from work safe and sound every day.

English Classes in the Users' Center There will be no English Classes during the month of July. Classes will resume on Monday, August 1. Classes meet in the Users' Center on Monday and Friday mornings from 9:30am until 11:00 am. Volunteer teachers work with students at all levels. Classes are free; you may begin any time. Two sessions meet simultaneously; one for beginners and one for more advanced students.
