Doug Brunkow has been at the Lab for 13 years, supporting science by recycling Lab land to build research facilities. His team has reclaimed land in Old Town and Bayview. One challenge of Brunkow’s job is taking away parking spaces. It’s better when he gives them back. Read more about the process. https://stratcomm-elements.lbl.gov/2020/03/03/3q4-doug-brunkow-on-recycling-land-at-the-lab/

Equipment and people from JGI began moving into the Integrative Genomics Building (IGB) this week. During orientation, the group was surprised by boxes of doughnuts delivered by Lab Director Mike Witherell and Michael Brandt, Deputy Lab Director for Operations. https://youtu.be/boGjeYDdR0U
JGI employees from the DNA sequencing group are the initial group to occupy Building 91, the Integrative Genomics Building, as of Tuesday morning. Some of their supplies were unloaded on Monday. Other groups will move in over the next few weeks.
All are invited to sign a welcome banner to be hung at the Integrative Genomics Building when the first group of employees moves in next Tuesday. The banner will be in the cafeteria Friday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. ETA’s Lara Gundel has watched the construction and is excited to meet the neighbors.
On Nov. 5, the first 55 employees from the Joint Genome Institute will move into the Integrative Genomics Building (IGB). The rest of the JGI and KBase staff will move in waves, with all moved by the end of the year. Welcome events are planned, including a Lab-wide IGB open house early in 2020. https://stratcomm-elements.lbl.gov/2019/10/23/igb-neighbors-moving-in-beginning-nov-5/
