The Charter Hill Strategic Planning Committee (CHSPC) is charged with building on efforts over the past few years to deliver a document that outlines the science case for the three buildings. To seek broad input on the content of the document, the committee has recommended a series of workshops. The outcomes of the workshops will also seed mission need statements for the three proposed buildings, feed other documents and presentations that are required in the early stages of project planning, inform energy sciences strategic planning more generally at LBNL, and identify LDRD focus topics for ESA that will develop science and tools needed in the interim, on the path to realizing new buildings and science at Charter Hill.
Virtual workshops in October 2020 – January 2021 are planned on the following topics:
Accelerated Design and Synthesis of Materials and Molecules
Discovery of New Molecular and Solid-State Quantum Systems
Exploring Dynamics and Equilibria across Time and Length Scales
Function Emerging from Complexity across Molecular, Inorganic, Biological, and Environmental Systems
Innovative Design Features for the Lab of the Future
The Opportunity at Charter Hill
The Opportunity at Charter Hill
The demolition of the buildings on the Charter Hill site provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build an integrated, state-of-the-art cluster of buildings benefitting programs in chemistry and materials sciences across the Office of Science and beyond.
Our vision is for three new research buildings that would transform our best-in-class interdisciplinary team efforts and capabilities from serial discovery into a suite of novel integrated facilities, enabling accelerated discovery through a parallel design that leverages advances in ML, AI, and automation. These laboratories would enable linkages between theory/modeling, synthesis, and characterization in unprecedented ways and enable understanding and control of materials phenomena and chemical transformations across multiple length, time, and energy scales.
