The NSLS-II facility now has 23 beamlines in operation and 5 others nearing operational readiness. This talk will focus on general vacuum requirements common to all synchrotron beamlines as well as hardware and design considerations needed to meet them. Topics to be covered include: beamline vacuum system design, leak checking, bakeout, commissioning, and operation. Particular attention will be given to the successes and challenges experienced to date.
