All across Michigan, eyes are on one of the state’s largest construction projects—the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, on the campus of Michigan State University.
The Michigan Chamber's mission statement calls for us to create conditions favorable to job creation and business growth in Michigan. That's why we're pleased to see this summer's construction work of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams on the campus of Michigan State University following the groundbreaking ceremony in March, as a premier new research facility unfolds and develops right here in mid-Michigan.
In East Lansing, construction continues on a three-quarter billion-dollar research facility that will position Michigan as a major leader in new technologies.
Construction on the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams has been barreling ahead since its groundbreaking in March, putting the project nine weeks ahead of schedule, Conventional Facilities and Infrastructure Deputy Director of FRIB Chris Thronson said.
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams on Michigan State University’s campus is taking shape in a big way this summer, starting with a concrete pour in late July that used 1,400 cubic pounds of concrete. That’s a lot of concrete.
In July 140 truckloads of concrete arrived at Michigan State University to begin construction of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. The under-construction Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at MSU will eventually generate atomic nuclei to be used in nuclear, biomedical, material and soil sciences, among other fields of research.
The construction of a new national facility for nuclear science at Michigan State University is continuing with the addition of 140 truckloads of concrete.
A few rain sprinkles didn’t matter. The “big pour” that will produce a portion of the concrete floor of a $730 million nuclear research facility commonly known as the FRIB rumbled to a noisy start around 3 a.m. Wednesday a block west of the Wharton Center on the Michigan State University campus.
Construction on the FRIB Project is now underway at Michigan State University.
It's a big day for Michigan State University. A rather large concrete pour is taking place this morning at the construction site for the "Facility for Rare Isotope Beams".
The Eclipse Foundation today announced the creation of a new Science Working Group - a global collaboration between industry, academia, and governments to create open source software used in basic scientific research. Founding members of the Eclipse Science Working Group include Oak Ridge National Labs, Diamond Light Source, Lablicate UG, Uppsala University, Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, MARINTEK, Kichwa Coders, Clemson University, Tech'Advantage and IBM.
Included in the list: Michigan State University broke ground on the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams on a cold morning in March. The $730 million nuclear science research project had come through more than five years of intensive planning and design, and nearly a year in limbo as the U.S. Department of Energy sorted out its research priorities.
