Molecular Foundry Clears University Hurdle

Molecular Foundry Team: Joe Harkins, Project Manager,
Danica Truchlikova, Facilities Chief Architect, and Jim

A key University of California Board of Regents panel, the Committee
on Grounds and Buildings, yesterday approved the design and
environmental impact documentation for the proposed Molecular
Foundry. The plan will now go to the full board for approval
in May. Lab Deputy Director Sally Benson and
architect Danica Truchlikova made the presentations
for the 94,500-square-foot nanotechnology center, for which
construction is scheduled to begin next January. It will open
with 140 scientists and researchers in early 2006. Read the
summary submitted to the Regents here. |

Announcement
Draws Media to JGI
The announcement this week that 20 sequencing centers
in six countries, including the Joint Genome Institute
in Walnut Creek, completed their 13-year quest to decode
the human genome brought considerable media attention.
The JGI, a partnership that includes Berkeley Lab, sequenced
three of the chromosomes, and KPIX-TV’s Ann Notarangelo
captured the excitement for Bay Area viewers. The news
report can be viewed (with RealPlayer software) here. |

| 'Sensitive
Items' List
Will Expand Next Year
In
Berkeley Lab's property inventory at present, only personal
computers are listed as "sensitive" items
and thus subject to coding and tracking in the database.
But that will change on October 1. That's when a new
list of items will be described as "sensitive,"
including cameras, PDAs, printers, recorders, and phones.
Full story.

| "Rebuilding
Together"
Seeks Volunteers,
April 26-27
Rebuilding Together is a national volunteer organization
that provides free improvements for community facilities,
as well as low-income seniors and people with disabilities.
This year, more than a dozen volunteers from Berkeley Lab
have signed up to participate on Rebuilding Together "Energy
Teams" in San Francisco. These volunteers will go from
house to house Saturday, April 26, installing simple energy
and water efficiency measures such as blankets for water heaters,
caulking and weather-stripping, energy-efficient compact fluorescent
lamps, and water-saving faucets. There is still room for volunteers.
Employees interested in working on Energy Teams specifically
can contact Allan
Chen. For more about UC Berkeley’s Rebuilding
Together efforts, go here.

| Blackberry
Gate Gets
ID-Card Reader
The Lab has installed a new ID card reader at the Blackberry
Gate. Effective today, all employees entering the Lab after
hours or on the weekend will be required to use their ID Proximity
Badge. For those entering with a valid ID badge, the card
reader will display a green light; invalid badges will result
in a red light. As badges are not always returned at the time
of termination, this tool will greatly increase security of
LBNL and personal property on the Hill. Questions or comments
can be sent to Sue
Bowen, or Jim
Breckinridge. |
