Based in Richland, Washington, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is one of 10 United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) national laboratories. PNNL is DOE’s premier chemistry, earth sciences and data analytics Laboratory, delivering vital mission impacts in energy resiliency and national security. PNNL has 19 core capabilities, each a powerful combination of world-class staff, state-of-the-art equipment, and mission ready facilities. These capabilities represent a collective set of skills and a body of world-leading scientific and engineering work that provides exceptional value and mission delivery to DOE, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the missions of other federal agencies and industry through strategic partnership projects. Operated by Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle), PNNL has more than: 2.3 million gross square feet and 4,400 staff members. PNNL is implementing a rolling 10-year campus strategy (initiated in FY 2013) designed to deliver the foundation for the multidisciplinary science and engineering expertise, equipment, instrumentation, facilities, and infrastructure required to continue providing exceptional value and mission delivery. PNNL’s annual ten-year plan is published with SC’s Ten-Year Plans for the Science National Laboratories.
