What is Fermilab?
Scientists at Fermilab carry out research in high-energy physics to answer the questions: What is the universe made of? How does it work? Where did it come from?

Virtual Tour
The next best thing to visiting Fermilab in person.

Architecture and Nature/Ecology
Fermilab's founder, Robert Wilson, created "an architecturally significant center, a place to which physicists will be attracted by the physical beauty as well as by the beautiful facilities for research in particle physics."
Fermilab's prairies, forests, ponds and wetlands are home to birds, fish, butterflies - as well as particle physics research.
