A new 2.5Mev beam test facility is being built at SNS. It consists of a 65 keV H ion source, a 2.5MeV RFQ, a beam line with various beam diagnostics and a 6 kW beam dump. The facility is capable of producing one-ms-long pulses at 60Hz repetition rate with up to 50mA peak current. Commissioning with reduced average beam power is planned for fall 2014 to verify operation of all systems. The full power operation is scheduled to begin in 2015. Status of the facilty will be presented as well as discussion of the future R&D program.
