1. Introduction

• “CERN is preparing a Master Plan in view of the aging infrastructure, more and more users and visitors, and more and more space issues. The future of CERN depends on the implementation of its Master Plan, which is enabling a vision of the future and ensuring its development based on a structured action plan.

• This Master Plan is not only a need but also a request from the local authorities and will ease the granting of construction permits. It is an opportunity to have a close partnership with local authorities and to show that CERN, as major local actor, is integrated in the local and economic infrastructure and open to suggestions. CERN will become a campus open to the world, requiring a town planner also.

• The Master Plan is being discussing in the new GS Users Commission, where

ACCU is represented by G. Bobbink and G. Passaleva.”

2. Cern Master Plan

• Plan milestones already quite well established

• For every phase a consultation with the parts involved is foreseen

• Users take part in this decisional path.

• First step: pre-diagnostics

3. Recognition of CERN sites

15/06/11

• A pre-diagnostics study has been performed by several organisms.

• Most recurrent words: • Disorganization• Confusion• Missing coherence• Bad use of green spaces• Car invasion• Missing general view of space

organization• All the above is normal for a lab which is there

since 65 years and that has known an extremely fast evolution in the last 10-20 years

4. View of CERN towards 2030

15/06/11

• Three different urban organization models have been considered:

1. Activty district ( e.g industrial district, shopping area etc.)

2. Town quarter (e.g. university quarter)

7. Comments

My personal view:

• huge project with many interconnections and impact on many areas:

– Consultation with the CERN community is essential !

• Pre-diagnostic and projects seems to me too much oriented to the urban

organization with scarce consideration to CERN’s main vocation: SCIENCE !

– CERN in some sense IS NOT a campus, it is a research center, with many research

infrastructures

– CERN evolution must take into account also scientific infrastructure evolution: new

machines, new labs, new experiments

• The presentation of Luigi Scibile to me sets the correct stage (see next 2

slides): work by objectives; fix the strategies

Objectives & Strategies

3. Fix the objectives for the 2030:– Make the site more efficient in its operations– Organize the site to host more users (1000, 5000, 10000 scenarios)– Improve and promote the external image of CERN, centre of excellence

for the particle physics experiments, large worldwide collaborations, physics forum and exchange.

– Maintain/Renovate/rebuild the old building before they fall down.– Organize the future urban works in line with the sustainable development

(environment, energy, etc.)

4. Fix the strategies to attain the objectives (strategic plan)– See next slide ->

Example 1

Fix the objectives for the 2030:

– Make the site more efficient in its operations

– Organize the site to host more users (1000, 5000, 10000 scenarios)

– Improve and promote the external image of CERN, centre of excellent for the particle physics experiments, large worldwide collaborations, physics forum and exchange.

– Maintain/Renovate/rebuild the old building before they fall down.

– Organize the future urban works in line with the sustainable development (environment, energy, etc.)

20.05.2011 L. Scibile GS-SE EDMS: 1145705 11

Fix the strategies to attain the objectives:

HOW?– Collect the needs and expectations from the

CERN departments– Re-organize the logistics and processes by

grouping activities (building re-affectation, etc)

– Transport of people, materials, mobility– Meetings/forums and meeting places and

work organization– Urban organization

– Sedentary scientists and administrators– Technical support to the accelerators– Engineering work for new machines and

upgrades– Operation of the accelerators and

annexed infrastructure – More…..
