5 SNO Cavern 110ft H x 75ft OD Rectangular Hall 60ft L x 50ft W x 50ft H (20m x 16.5m x 16.5m) Ladder-Labs 15ft W x 10ft H (5m x 3.3m) 20ft W x 10ft H (6.6m x 3.3m) Cryo-Pit 65ft H x 50ft OD (21m x 16.5m OD) Underground Laboratory Conceptual Layout White Paper Description in Progress  Excavation has begun under contract with Redpath  First new space in about 1 year  Laboratory complete in 2007

6 Features of underground space All space within a common clean boundary (~class 2000) Common infrastructure includes dirty-clean transition and materials handling, power (~1.5 MW), cooling (300 T), water, UPW, networking (Gb/s off site, high speed internal) and clean ventilation system Design allows for future expansion but scale is limited

7 Provide support for underground program –Clean assembly, –lab space –meeting rooms, –Computing facilities –Office space

8 Building – Ready end of May, 2005

9 New Experiments Dark Matter, Double Beta Decay, Low-Energy Solar Neutrinos Letters of Interest can be submitted at any time!  15 LOI’s received & evaluated following January 2004 call …  1 more received last week and another expected early 2005 Initial Suite of Experiments under consideration along with longer term Scientific Road-Map …
