  • No laptop batteries in checked baggage
  • Avoid taking anything that looks like a bomb in an X-ray in either carry on or checked - beware electronic boards. I think if you pack the cables apart from each other, they'll realize they're harmless, for example.

  • Fermi map pdf
  • Fermi map html - you can click on it to get closeups.  We'll be in "IB1" - click on "Technical Division" in square D3-4.  It's the 5 buildings arranged in a weird shape.  IB1 is the one to the southwest.
  • Technical Area map; the big, blue buildings, ICB and IB-1 thru IB-4 are here:

  • There are entrances from Kirk at Pine and from Rt 59 at Batavia Rd.  One might be more convenient depending where you stay.
  • Fermi has a visitor's net for wifi.  I think it's like SLAC where you have to fill in a form (I've forgotten).
  • Our primary contact is Mike Tartaglia (630) 840-3890
  • Current forecast is for hot and humid with thunderstorms.
  • If you want to go to where they're building the cryomodule and want to get off the walkway, you'll need to bring steel toed boots & safety glasses.  That's in ICB (center building).
  • There's a cafeteria (inexpensive) in Wilson Hall (high rise building).  I'm partial to the Sweet Potato Cafe on Rt 59 just outside Fermi - nice folks, good food, breakfast all day, not too expensive.

    DRIVING DIRECTIONS
     
    Fermilab's main entrance is located at the intersection of Kirk Road and Pine Street in Batavia, Illinois, about 45 miles west of Chicago.
    When using a GPS navigation unit, please enter the intersection as your destination. 
    Signs posted near the intersection will point you to the Fermilab entrance.
    
    From Chicago, travel west on the Eisenhower (I-290) to I-88 (80 cents). 
    Exit I-88 at the Farnsworth exit, north or right (60 cents). 
    Farnsworth becomes Kirk Road. 
    Follow Kirk Road to Pine Street. 
    Turn right at Pine Street, Fermilab's main entrance.
    
    
    From O'Hare, take I-90 east toward Chicago. 
    After just a couple of miles, take I-294 south, toward Indiana (80 cents). 
    From I-294 take the exit to I-88, the east-west tollway, toward Aurora (80 cents). 
    From I-88, take the Farnsworth exit (60 cents). 
    Turn north onto Farnsworth. Farnsworth becomes Kirk Road. 
    Follow Kirk Road to Pine Street. Turn right on Pine Street, the main entrance to Fermilab. 
    Come to Wilson Hall, the high-rise building. (You'll see it sticking up off the prairie.)
