- AD Travel Requests
- Reminders
- 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.
- Travel resources & Notes
- 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.
- 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.
