Argonne and Fermilab are controlled access facilities, and approval for site access is required. All visitors must be pre-authorized before being allowed on the Fermilab or Argonne sites. If you are attending days at both Argonne and Fermilab you will need separate access invites for both and a QR code for Fermilab. The invites, QR codes for Fermilab, and badges are not interchangeable for both labs.
