While this seems a little sad given the history at Murray Hill - and it's an absolutely incredible building to visit - hopefully this is going to bring benefit to Rutgers and their engineering department as well as the technology sector in New Jersey in general. As a Rutgers ECE grad myself, it feels like there's a special hub of exciting engineering jobs here, so I'm glad that if Bell Labs is making a move, they aren't leaving the region (unless the Central Jersey [0] argument is considered). On another note, if anyone is interested in the amazing history of Bell, I highly recommend the book "The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation" by Jon Gertner.
