Wilson Hall's Safety Improvements Project Wins Illinois Engineering Council Award | ||
| ||
|
On September 6, 2003, the Illinois Engineering Council presented Fermilab with
an Outstanding Engineering Achievement Award for the repair and rehabilitation of Wilson Hall. From 1998 to 2002, Wilson Hall went under major renovations to make safety improvements to the 16-story building that was originally constructed in 1972. "We rebuilt Wilson Hall to improve safety deficiencies," said Elaine McCluskey, Project Manager for the Wilson Hall Safety Improvements Project. "We have been recognized for doing a good job, and receiving this award is an extra bonus." Dave Nevin, Head of FESS, is proud for Fermilab to just be recognized for the restoration work that was done to Wilson Hall. "In my mind, this award really shows the appreciation from the engineering community for the difficulty of doing this kind of work in an occupied building with minimal interruptions for the tenants," Nevin said. "The project was a big success, and in truth, I think that we saved the building from hurting itself."

From Nature, October 9, 2003
Earlier this year, Maguire, a neuroscientist at University College London,
had barely heard of the Ig Nobels, which were awarded for the 13th time on 2
October by a self-appointed panel for "research that cannot or should not be
reproduced". Maguire had no idea why she'd won.

Anecdotes for lunch
You may know about Leon Lederman riding his horse to Wilson Hall dressed in a suit of armor. But how about Aspirin in the Tevatron, or the employee who invented stereo TV? Tomorrow you can hear these and other Fermilab stories. See your fellow employees (including Barb Kristen, Pat Oleck, Duane Plant, Herman White) as they share their memories in a new 45-minute video, to be shown on Tuesday, October 14, at noon in One West. Free soda and popcorn will be available, and you are welcome to bring your lunch.
The video presentation at Wilson Hall kicks off a series named "Cruisin' the Lab!" Upcoming lunchtime events will take employees to other site locations, such as DZero on Dec. 16. For more information, check the webpage.
