The first major addition to LLE in more than two decades includes clean room facilities to advance next-generation laser science and technologies.<\/h2>\n

The University of Rochester<\/a>\u2019s Laboratory for Laser Energetics<\/a> (LLE) has completed construction on a $46 million building expansion that began in August 2022<\/a>. The opening of the addition marks a significant milestone for the national research facility, which was last expanded in 2003 to house the OMEGA EP laser.<\/p>\n

Totaling 66,600-square-foot, the new three-floor building, which boasts LEED Silver certification, houses 15,500 square feet of laboratory space with seating for 132 LLE staff and students, plus 2,900 square feet of collaboration space with seating for an additional 117 people.<\/p>\n

The new space will enable construction of the AMICA laser system, prototyping of the NSF OPAL lasers, and creation of next-generation targets, diagnostics, and optics for national security efforts. Low-vibration class-1000 clean room space will enable LLE to achieve theoretical resolution on microfabrication and high-resolution instrumentation. The building also houses the largest of its kind optical coating facility, helping to ensure a US domestic supply chain to support work on the world\u2019s largest lasers.<\/p>\n

\u201cLLE\u2019s history underscores the vital role that our country\u2019s leading research institutions play in the development of new technology and the impact our work can have on the nation\u2019s economic growth,\u201d University President Sarah Mangelsdorf said during the building ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 31. \u201cThe facility that we\u2019re dedicating today\u2014two years in the making, longer than that in planning\u2014is a really important project that will help us advance the work of LLE on all of these fronts,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Construction on the project was managed by University of Rochester Planning, Design, and Construction in partnership with architect CannonDesign; site and civil engineers Passero Associates; construction manager LeChase Construction; and commissioning agent M\/E Engineering.<\/p>\n

The work entailed 224,000 on-site construction hours with a peak crew size of 91 individuals. Eight unions participated, with an additional 30 companies\u2014all based in New York state\u2014providing goods and services.<\/p>\n

The addition was fully funded by the University, which increased its original funding amount to add features and capabilities to enhance the unique research, education, and workforce and economic development made possible by LLE.<\/p>\n

\u201cLLE is at the forefront of research and education in fusion, in materials at the extreme conditions typically only found at the centers of planets and stars, and in laboratory astrophysics,\u201d says Chris Deeney, the director of LLE. During the ribbon cutting, he added, \u201cThis exciting present and inspirational future for LLE resulted in the University sponsoring this new building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elected officials voice support for expanded Laser Lab<\/strong><\/h3>\n

US Senator Charles Schumer:<\/strong> \u201cThe new three-floor tall expansion to the University of Rochester\u2019s Laboratory for Laser Energetics will further bolster our national security, and boost the LLE\u2019s energy research that is critical to our regional economy. I\u2019m proud to have secured the vital federal funding each year that keeps the LLE and its 450 workers in business to advance America\u2019s energy leadership, protect our global technological competitiveness, and spur millions in local economic activity for Rochester\u2019s optics and photonics industry. This expansion will double down on the LLE as a regional economic engine that employs the brightest scientists from our community and across the country while ensuring the US remains at the forefront of technological advancements.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand:<\/strong> \u201cThe University of Rochester\u2019s Laboratory for Laser Energetics is home to some of the largest and most capable lasers at any academic institution in the world and supports critical scientific missions to support our national and economic security. LLE is a vital research asset that I could not be more proud to support, and I have delivered millions in federal funding over the years to support LLE\u2019s groundbreaking research. Congratulations to the University of Rochester and everyone at LLE on this historic opening. I look forward to seeing this facility in action and I\u2019ll keep fighting to make sure that LLE has the resources it needs to remain a global leader in scientific innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Congressman Joe Morelle:<\/strong> \u201cAt its core, science ignites a wonder within us and a curiosity that spurs a relentless pursuit of understanding, and that sense of wonder and curiosity thrives here at the University of Rochester\u2019s Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE). As a member of the House Appropriations Committee in Washington\u2014and a self-proclaimed amateur scientist and discoverer\u2014I\u2019m proud to use my role to support LLE\u2019s mission and ensure it has the support and resources it needs to thrive. I\u2019m grateful to University of Rochester President Sarah Mangelsdorf and LLE Director Chris Deeney for your years of friendship, and I look forward to continuing our work together to expand this amazing facility even further.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assembly member Harry Bronson:<\/strong> \u201cThe expansion of the University of Rochester\u2019s Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) will be transformative for our region, inviting important breakthroughs and furthering research, as well as creating jobs. As Chair of Labor, I also thank University of Rochester for working with union labor and local companies for the construction of the LLE.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senator Jeremy Cooney:<\/strong> \u201cUniversity of Rochester\u2019s nationally renowned Laboratory for Laser Energetics has long been on the cutting edge of our country\u2019s technological innovations. I\u2019m thrilled for the impact this expansion will have, both to allow the lab to continue their groundbreaking research, and for the job growth it will create across the Rochester area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assembly member Sarah Clark:<\/strong> \u201cAs a long time proponent of the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) at the University of Rochester, today marks a highly anticipated day with the grand opening of the lab’s 66,000 square foot building expansion. This latest project will ensure the LLE continues to lead amongst its peers in energy research and innovation. The LLE\u2019s impact locally, nationally, and across the globe is truly immeasurable. Thank you to all involved in bringing this project to fruition; I look forward to seeing what the LLE does next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Empire State Development President, CEO, and Commissioner Hope Knight:<\/strong> \u201cCongratulations to the University of Rochester on the official grand opening of its Laboratory for Laser Energetics. This innovative facility further reinforces the U of R\u2019s global reputation as a leader in forward-thinking discoveries. New York State remains committed to supporting cutting-edge R&D investment and building on our reputation as a global leader in next-generation energy industry applications and technologies- efforts that are serving as a catalyst for economic growth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
