Thank you for sharing your feedback about working at SLAC. Our Environment, Safety & Health division is known across the lab as a great partner and collaborator - we’re glad to have you as part of the team. As a lab that was founded more than 60 years ago, we certainly have areas of the site that need upgrading. We have exciting plans to revitalize our utilities and infrastructure as part of SLAC’s overall site plan to further enable cutting-edge science.
