On November 17, Turner Construction achieved "Substantial Completion" of civil construction on the Linac Coherent Light Source site; Turner has finished up all major field construction, and is beginning review of their written plans for the new buildings with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory staff. With this achievement, the group is handing over management of the facilities to SLAC.

"The handover is a major accomplishment," said LCLS Deputy Director Mark Reichanadter. "[It] allows us to stay on schedule for completing the installation of electron beam technical hardware in December. Final checkout and an external review are scheduled next, and then we should be ready for e-beam commissioning. This is a very exciting time at SLAC."

For almost 28 months, Turner has been in charge of constructing and maintaining 13 new buildings for the LCLS, including the excavation of 180,000 cubic yards of soil to build its underground X-ray tunnel. Turner also installed electrical and cooling systems for the buildings. During construction, Turner documented in blueprints, building plans and user manuals the detailed inner workings of each building. Now, they must review these plans and manuals with SLAC to ensure their accuracy. Turner expects to submit final plans in about three months. Read more...

A SUNet ID
Takes You Places

by Shawne Workman

A Stanford University Network ID, or SUNet ID, identifies you as a member of the Stanford community. This three- to eight-character ID gives you access to Stanford computing resources and services. Never heard of a SUNet ID? Chances are, you already have one.

It appears in your Stanford e-mail address: sunetid@stanford.edu.

If you have a Stanford Web page, it appears in the URL: www.stanford.edu/~sunetid.

Your SUNet ID serves as your login ID in many of Stanford's online systems. For example, you will need a SUNet ID to download free virus protection software for your home computer. It gives you online access to some areas of the Stanford Bookstore Web site.

Your SUNet ID will be with you throughout your affiliation with Stanford. Students who graduate from Stanford, then return later as an employee, retain the same SUNet ID.

If you don't yet have a SUNet ID, you can apply for one online using your Stanford ID number (from your Stanford staff or student ID card), or another form of ID with sponsorship by a Stanford faculty or staff member. See the SUNet ID Web page for more details.
