    • found: Science Beat, October 1, 2001(Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is the namesake and legacy of its founder, Ernest Orlando Lawrence; The Radiation Laboratory was officially established in 1936. Since 1931 Lawrence and his team had occupied a two-story, clapboard-sided wooden building that had been constructed in 1902; it was the first of the modern labs in which experimentalists could collaborate on joint projects or work on their own research; The Lab operated round the clock, seven days a week, and those who did not put in 70-hour shifts failed to follow the example set by Lawrence; Rad Lab) - https://www2.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/lawrence-legacy.html
