Current Status of
Access to Fermilab - Effective January 24, 2005
|
The Department of Energy has recently approved changes
to the Fermilab Security Plan. These changes, which go into effect on
January 24, 2005, ease some of the site access restrictions that have
been in place since 9/11.
A central corridor of public areas enables the public
to visit much of the Fermilab site without the need for visitors'
passes. The public areas include most of the recreational features of
the site. A map showing the public areas is available
online.
Visitors are now able to enter the Fermilab site by car
through the Batavia Road and Pine Street entrances. After presenting
identification, most visitors will simply pass through the security
checkpoint after telling the security officer the purpose for their
visits. Roadways that are off limits to visiting members of the public
are posted with signs, and motorists will be given site maps to guide
them to the public areas.
The public areas extend into the Lederman Education
Center and to the ground floor and atrium of Wilson Hall, and Ramsey
Auditorium. Signs tell visitors which areas of Wilson Hall are open to
the public.
The Fermilab Security Plan identifies certain
workspaces as "Property Protection Areas." (see
map) Fermilab ID badges are required for entry into these areas. If
a visitor needs to enter a Property Protection Area in order to conduct
business at the lab or to meet with someone who works at the lab, he or
she must obtain a temporary visitor's pass and wear it while inside the
Property Protection Area.
