General Services
The General Services group was established at Laboratory in 1946 to provide vital services necessary for the operation of the research and administration groups within the Laboratory. The General Services group assembles and moves office furniture, experimental equipment that is being shipped to off-campus sites.
During conferences, seminars and meetings, the General Services group provides transportation and assists with logistics. On a daily basis the group makes pickups and deliveries on campus and at local vendors and provides a shuttle service to the Bates Linear Accelerator Center in Middleton, MA. (The Bates facility is located twenty-five miles north of campus). This group is also responsible for the maintenance and assignment of ten lab vehicles (provided by MIT) and one forklift.
The General Services Manager is responsible for the daily operations of the group, prepares and coordinates all of the Laboratory's space changes, and is responsible for maintaining records on 245,000 square feet of laboratory space. The manager acts both as the Laboratory safety coordinator and interacts with Laboratory safety officers and safety officials from DOE, MIT and OSHA.
