The eXperiment Operations Center (XOC) is a centrally managed location for the Intensity Frontier experiments at Fermilab and creates an opportunity to highlight accelerator research efforts to the public. McGuire Engineers provided electrical engineering services for the 3,000 SF XOC. McGuire Engineers objective was to design building systems to support the hardware and software needed for experiments while maintaining the aesthetics of a publically visible space.
