Extensive remodeling and enlargement of the Special Training Division facilities during 1954 resulted in such features as high- and low-level preparation laboratories, new chemistry and physics laboratories, and enlarged counting and lecture rooms.
The first Oak Ridge Regional Symposium was initiated in 1954 to expand the scientific influence on Oak Ridge into still another area, that of secondary school and college undergraduate students.
