Ah my dad has the same story about his time in the Math and Computer building at UW. Though he said it got a lot better in later years when he could just show up at 4am and run things pretty much right away because nobody wanted to be there at 4am. That part I find hard to believe based on my time at UW.
- canucker2016 3y agoWhen you talk about the MC building at UW, you have to mention the Red Room. see https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/40th/images/img039.jpg https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/40th/images/img039.jpg and https://ist.uwaterloo.ca/cs/redroom/ https://ist.uwaterloo.ca/cs/redroom/ The central core of the first floor of the building was for the mainframes and supporting gear in the Red Room. The second floor had windows which let people look down on the mainframes and the priests tending the electronic behemoths. the Red Room definitely had a Stanley Kubrick The Shining vibe to it.
