Construction start: Brookhaven Lab, 13 Apr 2026: "Work begins today ... to remove components from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)" - "the first step in transforming the renowned collider into ... the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC)"; the old 2033 date was the source's hoped-for operation, not a construction date. Completion: DOE Office of Science FY 2027 Congressional Justification (Nuclear Physics, May 2026), 20-SC-52 EIC: "The estimated completion date (CD-4) of 1Q FY 2036 includes schedule contingency validated by peer review" (1Q FY 2036 = Oct-Dec 2035; CD-4 = "Approve Start of Operations or Project Closeout").
