Tim Fox ABSTRACT


ABSTRACT
 Goverment funding for physics research has become tighter and competition
for existing funds greater. Given this, most control room designers may
not be provided an opportunity to design a control room from scratch, 
but may have "inherited" a control room that had been used to support
a wide range of various activities, including accelerator control.

 This talk will address working within existing parameters to create a
environment that can support accelerator operations from the commissioning
stages to delivering beam for Physics 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Design considerations such as accelerator/subsystem/facility commissioning,
ergonomics, lighting, safety, communications, computers and software control
will also be included. Other issues such as access control, emergency
response, non-Personnel Safety key control, and other activity support
will also be discussed.
