Michigan State University (MSU) has funded the construction of a new 27,000 square foot high bay building to house the Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) infrastructure for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) production requirements. The construction has been completed and beneficial occupancy began on May 19th, 2014. The new SRF highbay includes over 4,000 square feet of cleanroom and chemistry facility space, automated cavity etch tools, ultra pure water systems, cold mass component inspection area, hydrogen degassing furnace, SRF testing capabilities for three vertical test Dewars and two horizontal cryomodule test bunkers with dedicated helium refrigeration system. The status of the technical equipment design, installation and commissioning will be presented.
