k) Materials Science and Technology Office BuildingDescription: This project is consistent with <strong>LA</strong>NL’s long-range vision to group materials science activitiestogether in the southeast quadrant of TA-<strong>03</strong>. The new Materials Science and Technology Office Buildingproject location is west of the Sigma Complex security fence. The MSL and the other permanent buildingscomprising the materials science complex are all located adjacent to the site proposed for this new officebuilding and a common circulation pattern for that area will be implemented.This General Plant Project will replace 17 trailers located to the east of <strong>03</strong>-1819 and <strong>03</strong>-2002 with amultistory office building. This modern, sustainable facility will dramatically reduce operational costscompared to those associated with the “temporary” structures. The project will provide the Materials Scienceand Technology Division with a new office building to house approximately 80 staff currently working in acluster of “temporary” trailers and transportable structures in the materials science complex in TA-<strong>03</strong>. Theinstallation of numerous “temporary” structures has proven inefficient over the years because of the highoperational costs in addition to the fact that these facilities do not provide an effective work environment.Consequently, these facilities are detrimental to recruitment and retention of personnel.Status: The project received its own NEPA coverage by Categorical Exclusion # 8618 issued December07, 2001 (DOE 2001j). Construction of the new office building began in November 2002. The estimatedcompletion date is September 20<strong>03</strong>. Occupancy is scheduled to begin in October 20<strong>03</strong>.l) TA-72 Live Fire Shoot HouseDescription: PT<strong>LA</strong> currently provides security support for <strong>LA</strong>NL and its environs. Their mission requiresPT<strong>LA</strong> support to be trained to a high state of security readiness and to be able to respond to any emergencysituation relative to the security of <strong>LA</strong>NL. The purpose of the newly constructed Live Fire Shoot Houseis to provide an environment of the safe and realistic conduct of advanced tactical training for the PT<strong>LA</strong>.In addition, this General Plant Project enables <strong>LA</strong>NL security officers to satisfy all DOE requirements fortraining and Live Fire Shoot House qualifications. Prior to construction of the Live Fire Shoot House in2002, all training activities were conducted at the firing ranges at TA-72 with the exception of the Live FireShoot House training and qualifications that were conducted at offsite facilities. This consolidation of PT<strong>LA</strong>training activities into one location will result in a substantial cost savings for the PT<strong>LA</strong> training program,a more efficient use of personnel, and a more effective means of complying with DOE and <strong>LA</strong>NL trainingrequirements.Live Fire Shoot House2-174SWEIS Yearbook—2002
