A brilliant warm and sunny day made for the perfect backdrop at this past Friday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, where invited officials, university personnel, scientists, staff, and students celebrated the official opening of the $46 million office and laboratory expansion—the first major addition to the facility in 20 years. “LLE’s history underscores the vital role that our country’s leading research institutions play in the development of new technology and the impact our work can have on the nation’s economic growth,” University President Sarah Mangelsdorf said during the ceremony. “The facility that we’re dedicating today—two years in the making, longer than that in planning—is a really important project that will help us advance the work of LLE on all of these fronts.”
