As
a federally-funded, U.S. Department of Energy research facility,
the goods and services that the Laboratory purchases in order
to operate are handled by the Purchasing
Services Offices.
The Environment,
Safety, Health & Assurance Office helps ensure a safe
working environment for Laboratory employees but also works
with university
and local agencies so that the Laboratory's operation contributes
to the overall safety of the community.
The Materials
Preparation Center is a DOE national user facility that specializes
in the preparation, purification, and characterization of rare
earth, alkaline-earth, and refractory metal materials. MPC
provides research and developmental quantities of high-purity
materials and unique characterization services to scientists
at university, industry and government facilities on a cost-recovery
basis, allowing access to novel materials and new technologies
as they are developed.
The Laboratory
also provides engineering and graphic
services primarily to
clients on campus who have need for services that are not commercially
available.
Media interested
in covering research activities or events at Ames Laboratory
will find assistance with arranging interviews, photos, and
essential background information in the Public Affairs Office.
The links
in the menu, at upper left, provide more information in these various
areas.
