The New UC Livermore Collaboration Center Is Built for Innovation
The newest addition to UCOP is the University of California Livermore Collaboration Center (UCLCC) — a three-building complex on the east side of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), which was the result of an extensive renovation that took place from September 2021 through May 2022.
The UCLCC serves as a hub to expand collaborations and partnerships between UC campuses and three national labs — LLNL, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The complex operates under UC National Labs (UCNL) and was the dream of LLNL Director Kim Budil and Interim Vice President of UCNL June Yu.
