Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory conducts some of the most innovative
science and technology research in the nation—whether it’s
ensuring the performance of the nation’s nuclear stockpile,
developing capabilities to
strengthen
homeland security, cleaning up the environment, battling cancer,
or deciphering the human genome.
The Laboratory’s Discovery Center
provides visitors with a window into our state-of-the-art
research programs, computational capabilities,
and experimental tools. Here you’ll experience a broad-based display of our
science and technology, as well as
highlights of the Laboratory’s history.
On Saturdays, the Discovery Center is open from 10:00 a.m.
to 2 p.m.
Call (925) 423-3272 for more information.
(Note: Greenville Road north of the Laboratory, between
National Drive and Marathon Drive, will be closed by the City of Livermore
for about six months beginning in October 2004 for street widening construction.
To visit the Discovery Center during this time, use the Vasco Road exit off
of I-580 and go east on Patterson Pass Road to get to Greenville, turn south
on Greenville, turn right at Lupin Way at the Laboratory's east entrance, and
turn left into the Visitors Center parking lot, before the guard gate. Updates
on the construction are available on the city’s Engineering
Road Work Website.)
