Infrastructure Issues
• Surface Building and Staging Requirements• Joint facilities
– Lunchroom– Sanitary needs– Conference room– Fresh Air and Cooling System– Outreach
• Life safety• Working within a State Park

Surface Building
![Page 4: Model for Sharing Facilities Bill Miller-U of M Lab Manager](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649de95503460f94ae3ef8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Surface Staging Area
• Important to have surface staging area– Shipping and Receiving
• UPS, FedEx, large trucks
– Stage materials for shipment underground– Overhead crane and forklifts for moving
materials
• Good organization of materials and hoist trips saves money!
• Surface office space

Staging Underground
• Building large detectors require
• Almost as much staging area needed as detector area-DON’T SKIMP ON OPEN AREA’S
• Organized materials handling systems save time and money!

Joint Facilities
• Make lunchroom facilities NICE.
• Happy workers are productive workers
• Very useful to have large enough facility so multiple disciplines have place to mingle!

Joint Facilities
• Plan for an underground sanitary and potable water systems – Running hot/cold water important– Real lavatory nice, but porta-potties work
• Conference Rooms– Important to have good areas for phone/video
conferences– Need several sized rooms, at least one large
enough for expected underground occupancy

Fresh Air and Cooling System
• Estimate occupancy, heat loads, fresh air needs carefully
• Much cheaper to design systems with proper capacity right away
• Redundant and backup systems important, many experiments can’t survive long without power or cooling
• Fresh air to lower radon levels
![Page 9: Model for Sharing Facilities Bill Miller-U of M Lab Manager](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649de95503460f94ae3ef8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Outreach and Education• Plan outreach program
from the beginning• Public access to deep
underground labs is possible if safe areas are designed in from the start
• Surface facility should have educational space for both the scientist to meet as well as the general public and school groups

Life Safety
• Underground Rescue Chambers
• Mine Rescue Team– SCBA
• Training, Training, Training!• High level of first aid training
– Times to get full medical care can be large
• Joint safety meetings• Pro-Active on Safety!

Working with others
• The Soudan Lab has been working for 25 years within a State Park– Pluses
• Joint Mine Rescue Team, safety program, cost sharing of safety equipment
• Share of surface and underground equipment-Forklifts, shop equipment, building materials
• Joint Ventures like Visitor Center, Outreach• Cost sharing internet and phone systems
– Minuses• Less control!
