The Construction of E2-EITC

or

The New Building and the Escape from Machray Hall

2005-2006

As is pretty old news now, we moved from Machray Hall to the Engineering and Information Technology Complex in 2005. This was a huge thing for the department, in terms of having state-of-the-art facilities after being "temporarily" in the back half of a library for 30 years. It was also a huge thing for me, moving away and being less in touch with departments in Science, and closer to our colleagues in Engineering. The moving itself was also an interesting change: the experience of packing up and vacating an area I had been familiar with since I was a student myself, and moving on to new and different things. Establishing folkore instead of living among it.

This is a jumping-off point to the pages that I set up documenting the construction and move.
