If the main cyclotron is the heart of the TRIUMF,  then the Driver Control Room (DCR) is its central nervous system. It is always occupied by at least two accelerator operators – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The DCR serves as the base for all security and safety operations on site. The control room has been expanded to also support e-Linac operations as the ARIEL facility is completed and commissioned over the next few years.
