Abstract The Configuration and Layout (CL) team at CERN ensures that there is a clear and coherent representation of the status of the CERN underground facilities (about 60 km of equipment) and main accelerator projects at a given point in time. In view of the major equipment changes to be carried out during the extended end of year technical stop (EYETS), the next Long Shutdown (LS2), and to facilitate the associated preparatory work of multiple CERN groups, the CL team has developed an immersive visualisation tool, displaying 360 degree panoramic images of CERN underground facilities. In addition, the CL team is launching a process to manage future layout configurations inside the CERN Layout database in parallel to the current configuration. This paper presents the 360 degree panorama visualisation tool and the parallel configuration process, to view the past, current and future status of the CERN accelerator complex. It highlights their added value for the CERN groups in the preparatory phase for upgrade and consolidation modifications and discusses the potential future improvements.
