Improving the CERN Meyrin site: ongoing works and how to get around
As many members of the CERN community return from the summer break, a number of infrastructure projects are under way across the sites. While these works may temporarily affect traffic, parking and access, they form part of a broader effort to develop and improve CERN’s campuses. The projects highlighted below are among the major infrastructure works currently […]
As members of the CERN community return from their summer break, several infrastructure projects are underway across the Meyrin site. These works, aimed at strengthening security, modernizing infrastructure, and improving environmental resilience, may cause temporary disruptions to traffic, parking, and access.
One of the most visible projects is the redevelopment of Gate B, which will increase entrance capacity and improve traffic flow. Meanwhile, Gate A will remain open 24/7 during the redevelopment. Route Einstein works include the renovation of Building 133 and the construction of a stormwater retention basin from a former drinking-water tank.
Preparatory works on Route Bakker are also in progress as part of the future Building 140 project. Once completed, this building will serve as a major facility at the heart of the Meyrin site, connecting key areas.
The IBDRS project will modernize the aging infrastructure of the ISOLDE facility, which has produced radioisotopes for research since the early 1990s. Route Democrite will be temporarily closed during beam-dump dismantling operations. Lastly, Buildings 376, 377, and 378 are being renovated as part of the SITE-CONS consolidation program, improving safety, energy performance, and appearance.
