# Plain Language Summary

This bill is simply renaming a building. Specifically, it takes the Department of Energy Integrated Engineering Research Center Federal Building at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, and officially names it the "Helen Edwards Engineering Research Center." The building will keep doing exactly what it's already doing—there are no changes to its operations, budget, or purpose. This is purely about giving the building a new official name to honor Helen Edwards.

Helen Edwards was a pioneering physicist who made significant contributions to particle physics and accelerator technology at Fermi Lab. By naming the building after her, Congress is recognizing her scientific achievements and legacy. Going forward, any government documents, maps, regulations, or official records that refer to this building will use the new name "Helen Edwards Engineering Research Center" instead of its previous name.

For most people, this bill has no practical impact on their daily lives. It doesn't affect funding, research priorities, or how the laboratory operates. It's the kind of legislative action Congress takes to honor important figures in science and ensure their contributions are remembered. If you live in the Batavia area or work at Fermi Lab, you'd simply see the building referred to by its new name on official materials and signage.

To designate the Department of Energy Integrated Engineering Research Center Federal Building located at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, as the "Helen Edwards Engineering Research Center".
