The Sandia National Laboratories’ California campus on Saturday will celebrate its 60th birthday with a look back at its history and a look forward at its continuing contributions to national security.
The Livermore site is the primary offshoot of Sandia’s main location in Albuquerque, N.M.
“We take great pride in all that has been accomplished at this site over the last 60 years and want to share this with the community,” said Marianne Walck, vice president of the California facility and the Energy and Climate program, said in a press release. “This event is a chance to showcase some of the important work that happens here.”
The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bankhead Theater, 2400 First St. in Livermore. Sandia Director Jill Hruby will discuss the site’s history and ongoing work, according to a press release. Additional speakers will include Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and other local and state lawmakers, along Deputy Director Thomas Giaconda from the nearby Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It will also feature national security speeches from Sandia systems analyst and engineer Jarret Lafleur and Cybersecurity R&D Manager Levi Lloyd.
