Description
The FAIR Control Centre (FCC) has been purpose-built on the GSI campus to meet the complex operational demands of the FAIR/GSI large scale accelerator facility. It hosts the Main Control Room (MCR), seminar and meeting rooms of various sizes, offices, and dedicated technical rooms.
The 640 m² MCR is an open, collaborative workspace for accelerator experts, experiment teams, and technical staff. It offers a 24/7 ergonomic environment with ad-vanced acoustic and climate control, height-adjustable consoles, and a water-cooled IT infrastructure. In addi-tion to the console displays, the fully digital MCR fea-tures ca. 110 m² of high-resolution LED overview dis-plays for system-level visualization.
Construction of the MCR was completed in November 2025. Console installation began on December 8th, fol-lowed by IT installation and commissioning in early 2026. Initial operation of the first consoles was per-formed in late February, with full MCR operation target-ed for June 2026. The GSI accelerators will be controlled from the FCC for the beam time starting in September.
We report on the FCC key features and the project sta-tus on its path to completion, with an emphasis on com-missioning.
