The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration is building the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), a 3 square degree, 520Megapixel CCD camera which will be mounted on the Blanco 4-meter telescope at CTIO. DECam will be used toperform the 5000 sq. deg. Dark Energy Survey with 30% of the telescope time over a 5 year period. During theremainder of the time, and after the survey, DECam will be available as a community instrument. Construction ofDECam is well underway. Integration and testing of the major system components has already begun at Fermilab andthe collaborating institutions.
