The Underground Frontier (UF) was charged with assessing the anticipated needs and available space for well shielded underground space to conduct scientific research. The Frontier sought to understand the existing space, space that would become available in the coming decade, and potential for creating additional space to host these efforts. To this end UF created a survey which was sent to existing underground laboratories. This assessment was necessary for UF to develop a bold plan to foster and empower broad reaching underground research, maximize cost savings and synergistic research opportunities, and advance the HEP research program requiring underground space for the next two decades.
