The LCLS project is one of the largest but the whole scope of SLAC science has expanded in the past year or two. One other accelerator-based expansion in the lab is that the first two kilometers of the linac is being converted to a test-beam facility for doing plasma wakefield research, while the last kilometer of the linac plus the dedicated extension are being used for the LCLS. Take a look at http://www.slac.stanford.edu to see the other work going on at SLAC. @Borja: There are many other upgrades and changes going on at SLAC.
