Tried to visit (what's left of) the Bell Labs facilities in Holmdel, NJ. The Eero Saarinen-designed main office buildings seem to be closed, but for now at least are still in good repair.
The really interesting thing to me though was the radio telescope atop Telegraph Hill at their Crawford Hill facility, where Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson used the Horn Antenna to measure the cosmic microwave background raditation, and thus provided some of the first proof of the Big Bang theory of the universe.
Unfortunately, though the telescope has been established as a national historic landmark, it's still on private property, and the top of the hill is blocked from public access -- all I could get was glimpses through the trees from down the hill. Oh well.
Concordia University's Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex
The Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex (EV) opened at Concordia University in September 2005. It's a striking addition to Montreal’s downtown landscape. The two towers of the high-tech complex are completely integrated with links at every floor and a common corridor.
The 17-storey Engineering and Computer Science tower houses research and graduate teaching labs, administrative offices, and the Dean’s Office. From the many disparate locations in which it was previously housed, this tower integrates a large part of the Faculty in a single space, fostering more effective interaction of researchers. Facilities include over 300 specialized labs, conference and meeting rooms, and student areas.
The Visual Arts tower includes some of Studio Arts (Print Media, Fibres, Photography, Design and Computational Arts), Art History and the Dean’s Office. It features improved facilities and equipment for traditional media but also offers access to cutting-edge digital technologies that are organized so they can be easily integrated into the creative process. It also boasts an art gallery, a black box theatre, art history amphitheatres and specialized facilities for Hexagram, the Institute for Research/Creation in Media Arts and Technologies.
The complex features five three-storey stacked atria, interconnecting spiral stairs, a magnificent glass mural by Nicolas Baier on the exterior of the Mackay Street elevation, a Holly King mural at the Metro-level entrance, river-view terraces, and natural light to support sustainability. Phase 1 of a Fitness and Recreation Centre opened in September 2006 and phase 2 was completed in January 2007 with the opening of impressive new training facilities.

The side entrance to the Holmdel complex was barricaded, but the main entrance around the corner was open, and you could drive right up to the other side of this gate.

.. Well all that google research pays off with a bit of research action ! Buried nicely in some prime countryside location this place has been left to rot! I am always amazed at the massive amounts of decay that occur in old research establishments…it does make you wonder what went on in these places? What did they just “flush down the sink” … the smell was pleasant..altho that probably had something to do with the tonnes of pigeon crap everywhere ! There was not much left of this place..the chiller pumps provided the most interest..all the labs had been stripped bare and those that were left were in a pretty shocking state. Visited on a very windy day ! so there were lots of moments of “what was that” ! Entry was very funny exit was hilarious… a great way to end the week! Cheers Kev !
