Planned utility outages at the Lab have the potential to be confusing. A new Planned Utility Events site is a one-stop-shop that houses everything from the official utility outage calendar to lab and office re-entry checklists. In the future, all utility event details will be included on the site. https://sites.google.com/lbl.gov/planned-utility-events/planned-utility-events
The Facilities Division has a new department, Facilities Projects, to better meet the science community’s needs. The team will also help with Lab infrastructure projects. The new department will manage Facilities projects with an agile approach and target unique scientific equipment installations. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uLSseeBRF04l-zK-hIa7CTo6dCQuu7ap/view
