On Saturday, the Environmental Energy Technologies Division’s Heat Island Group and industry partner Western Colloid will be applying cool pavement coatings on two patches of the Bevatron parking lot. This installation is part of an ongoing demonstration project that seeks to showcase the range of materials and colors that can be used to coat existing asphalt concrete surfaces. As a result, the Bevatron lot will be closed to parking on Saturday and Sunday, reopening on Monday, March 18. More>

Expanded CRT Staging to Impact Bevatron Parking Lot Until Next July
Wednesday, October 31st, 2012To accommodate construction on the Computational Research and Theory building, the contractor staging area in the Bevatron ot (B51) will be expanded this week, reducing several parking spots. To mitigate the impacts, Lot I (above and south of the Bevatron lot), will be available for employee parking. The expanded staging area will be required until July 2013. Employees are encouraged to use alternate transportation methods to reduce parking demand at the Lab during this time. For more information, contact Henry Martinez (x6259), Tim Kemper (x6917), or Matt Vail (x2849).
