Something tells me filming at this location would have been alot more expensive than filming in a brewery. OTOH, it would probably still be cheaper than building a totally new set...
THIS was the design for the NEW engine room???

True. Most particle accelerators are:
A) located a long way from Hollywood (location costs)
B) Are filled with all sorts of sensitive equipment that might not be easy to work around.
C) Considering they are funded by governments to the tune of billions of dollars to do serious research, they would likely just say no.
A google search shows that there are particle accelerators in the LA area

Well, there was the particle accelerator in T3.
We live by Fermilab, and I can attest it looks 20th century. If they filmed at an accelerator facility, there would be no doubt it was not a star ship. It's quite characteristic.
We also live near Milwaukee, and the location as used does not look like a brewery to me either. The movie location is pretty generic.

Really? I don't know of any. But the thing is, most of them look more like a long steam tunnel or a power strip from Hell than something on a spaceship. The LHC is the exception.
I'm fairly certain that was a set:

It strikes me as far too neat and, well, Star Trekky, to have been a real accelerator.
You press the eject button.

Sigh. It would've been nice to see a BEEFY engine room.
Fans of Space Cruiser Yamato will know what I'm talking about.

I seem to be nearly the only one, but I liked the engineering sets in the movie. I thought they looked very mechanical and worked-in and, well, engineering-like. I hope they keep them in the next movie.
Be careful! If JJ hears that, next time they will film it in a meat packing plant!
And the Engineering personnel will all be wearing red parkas with hundreds of tiny Starfleet deltas woven into the fabric (inside and out) as they hurry between the rows of carcasses suspended from overhead tracks?
I think that there would have been more to this Engineering than we're seeing in the artwork. Ryan Church most likely has more he hasn't released yet.
I read a rumor that the intention was to build this Engineering set for the movie, but to save on cost (Paramount management decision) they just did a redress of the brewery.
Could we possibly see this engineering set built for the next movie?

The Trekmovie article and Ryan Church Trek segment are not working for me at the moment 
Awesome design. Leaves little room for transwarp comedy though.

It sort of reminds me of the massive supercollider complex at the military base in TERMINATOR 3. The one where John Connor and Katherine Brewster manage to waylay the Terminatrix by magnetizing her to the coils.

You guys noticed too, huh? Were we not SUPPOSED to get to see these? I wonder if Church got his wrist slapped.
I LOVED this engineering. If we had to go "industrial" at least it LOOKED designed.
Another direction they COULD have gone would have been the ARC reactor from Iron Man.
