Internet Photo: Between 1912 and 1922, George Fabyan created Riverbank Laboratories, the first privately owned research facility in the United States. The fourth building called the Engineering building or the Tuning Fork building was constructed in 1922. It was designed by Colonel Fabyan, it consists of a series of stacked 15' x 15' rooms. It is said that Colonel Fabyan had a hobby of collecting unused freight and he had received hundreds of 15' I-beams in a shipment and designed the building so they would not go to waste.
The laboratories have been operated by Alion Science and Techology (Alion) since 1947 and the laboratory continue to be a leading architectural acoustical testing laboratory.
