Davis Campus 80 percent complete

When members of the Sanford Lab administrative staff toured the 4850 Level on Friday (photo at far right), they inspected a Davis Campus that was 80 percent complete.

Procurement Specialist Pam Millard hadn?t visited the Davis Chamber, where the LUX dark-matter detector will be installed, since January 2011. The cavern was nearly empty then. ?Now it?s like standing in a two-story building that consumes the whole chamber,? she says. ?You have no perspective that you?re underground.?

On the second floor of the Davis Cavern, the block walls of the LUX control room have been built (top photo). A modular clean room for LUX, which will arrive next week, also will be installed on the top floor. Nearby in the Transition Area (above left), where the Majorana Demonstrator experiment will be installed, painters, electricians, masons ductwork installers continue to add finishing touches.
