 1971 - 1975
In 1971 CERN Council approved the construction of a second laboratory, adjoining the existing site, with a Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator (SPS) initially planned for an energy of 300 GeV.
J. B. Adams was appointed as Director-General of Laboratory II, which was administratively separate from the Laboratory I.

 1976 - 1989
In 1976 the two CERN laboratories were united. Laboratory II was renamed SPS Division and still directed by J. B. Adams.

SL (SPS + LEP) Division, 1990 - 2000
SL (SPS + LHC) Division, 2001 - 2002

In 1990 the SL Division was created, combining exploitation of both LEP (Large Electron Positron Collider) and Super Proton Synchrotron Division (SPS). In addition to the exploitation of the SPS and LEP, the SL groups were heavily involved in design and development work on LEP200 (upgrade programme), LHC (Large Hadron Collider project) and CLIC (Compact e+e- Linear Collider).

In 2000 LEP accelerator achieved a collision energy of 209 GeV. The machine was closed in November.

In 2001 following the closure of LEP, the name of SL division is changed from "SPS and LEP" to "SPS and LHC" keeping the same abbreviation "SL". It continued running the SPS accelerator and prepared to run the LHC.
