The Illinois Accelerator Research Center (IARC) is a new
accelerator research facility being built at Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory. At the Illinois Accelerator Research
Center, scientists and engineers from Fermilab, Argonne and
Illinois universities will work side by side with industrial
partners to research and develop breakthroughs in accelerator
science and translate them into applications for the nation's
health, wealth and security. Located on the Fermilab campus this
83,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility will house
offices, technical and educational space to study cutting-edge
accelerator technologies. In addition to attracting new private
industry partners that will create new high-tech jobs, the
center will also collaborate with local universities to serve as
a training facility for a new generation of scientists,
engineers and technical staff in accelerator technology. These
partnerships will make critical contributions to the
technological and economic health of Illinois and place
