Today, the MSU Board of Trustees approved construction for a new FRIB office addition, east of the most recent office tower addition. The new office tower will house both permanent FRIB staff and visiting researchers. The six-story addition will be approximately 74,000 square feet and will provide private and open offices, as well as flexible laboratory and collaborative space, including conference rooms and a 265-seat lecture hall. The project involves demolishing an existing one-story building to construct the new tower. Demolition starts this month, and the goal is to occupy the new addition in August 2016.

Michigan State University (MSU) operates the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE SC), with financial support from and furthering the mission of the DOE‑SC Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB is registered to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and ISO 45001.
