Found this neat chart of the DUSEL, Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory, at Homestake showing the 8000-feet below sea level construction they are proposing. Divided into three sections, the Shallow Labs, Mid-level labs, and Deep Campus labs, they aim to conduct experiments at the lowest levels that are highly susceptible to cosmic radiation. 8000 feet of dirt should provide enough insulation.
It’s a pretty and effective infographic showing the proposed construction, which they hope to complete in 2016.
