Status of Deep Underground Laboratories

Several of the major questions studied in contemporary astro-particle and sub-atomic physics are performed through weak interaction studies or rare event searches that require the ultra-quiet environment afforded by deep underground facilities, where the cosmic radiation induced backgrounds in the detection systems are reduced to a manageable level. This talk will provide a review of the status of, and future plans for, deep underground facilities around the world, highlighting the expansions to available laboratory experimental space that have recently occurred, or are planned in the near future. Additionally, major science programmes that will be hosted in these laboratories will be outlined.
