Jefferson Lab Site Tour

Personnel Access Way

Personnel Access Way

Jefferson Lab's three end stations are connected to each other by this passageway. It is about 35 feet underground, and is about at sea level. The metal trays running along the walls hold thousands of wires, just like ones used for cable TV. The cables transmit information from the experiments up to the control rooms upstairs.

This tour reflects Jefferson Lab as it was in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In particular, this predates the 12 GeV upgrade and the addition of Hall D. For a modern look at the Lab, please see the Jeffeson Lab Virtual Tour.
