Lab Reconstruction

We began to move equipment out of the Epi Center yesterday, so I guess there's really no going back now.

I took a few pictures yesterday morning just so we'd have something to compare to once all of the dust settles. The floor cleaning crew had just been in the lab the night before and, as you can see, they did a great job. The electrical wiring and plumbing have also been upgraded to handle all the new systems coming in.

The system in the back of the first photo (west side of the lab) is the Oxide MBE system that Jim brought with him when he first came to UIUC. We moved the system about seven feet to the west to make more room. You can also see the two capped pipes coming out of the floor in the middle of the room. These pipes mark where the wall used to be.


Looking the other direction you can see Soren's bike! Which he still hasn't moved.

Our office used to be down at this end of the lab.
