Public access to our site is part of a longstanding commitment to communicate and share the wonder of the facility with visitors of all ages. Our map presentation goes far beyond the facilities accessible while on a public tour of the site. This is a general introduction to TRIUMF’s history, scale, and scope of the laboratory’s multi-faceted operations.
When the founders of TRIUMF broke ground they also planted a single apple tree – a direct descendant from the apple trees that grew on Isaac Newton’s family farm in Lincolnshire, England – as a symbol of the fundamentals of scientific research.
