Future synchrotron light source based on the Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is expected to be capable of producing super-brilliant and/or ultra-short pulses of synchrotron radiation with a potential of the oscillating type for X-ray free electron laser. We are constructing the R&D machine which is called the compact ERL including the developments of an ultra-low emittance electron gun and superconducting cavities for both the injector and the main linacs under the collaboration between KEK, JAEA, ISSP, and other institutes. In this paper, we report recent progress of the construction for the compact ERL with a repair of a KEK east counter hall.
