The movers packing up Building 2.  Let the chaos begin! There is nothing like trying to work while these
guys jackhammer the cubes across the aisle from you.


Exterior Building 1. Note availability of parking spaces.  At this point all of A1 lower was empty.


West side of Building 1, looking south onto Airport. Did you know we have our very own Agilent traffic signal?!


As the parking lots were wide open, I had a contest with myself most mornings to see how fast I
could drive in them.  I know the speedometer is hard to read in this photo,
but it is showing 45 MPH. This is my wife's car - please don't mention it to her.


Off to Building 1. A1 Lower was the first floor to be abandoned. The movers came through and took out all
the power drops and conduit and just left Cat-5 hanging everywhere (which I assume they will leave for the
next tenant). Now you can see why the length of the network wires at the Airport site was measured in miles.
This picture is looking east, towards the cafeteria.


More A1 Lower. It is very quiet there.


Cubicle work lights.


Typical abandoned cube (formerly T.I.'s cube).


Boy, was the Fire Marshall pissed when he saw this!


A1 Upper.


Recognize this? It's the former QA rack cube. 
The arrow is pointing to the QA fridge, which is still under the table.
I had to walk quietly here or risk spooking the chairs.


A1 Upper.


A1 Upper from the west end, looking towards the main entrance. It's a ghost town. 
And no one - I mean no one - ever makes coffee. Sheesh!


The once-great Shasta Build Area. For whatever reason, this picture depresses me.


Unattended PC hardware quickly goes "up on cinder blocks."


Hardware is stacking up everywhere. Who knows what will happen to all of it?


Now on to Building 2. Here's a typical abandoned cube. More Cat-5!


"Laminar flow isolation table." I don't know what (cancelled) project it was used for, but
I'm thinking it would make one hell of a air hockey table!


A2 Lower wreckage.


A2 Upper, south side of the floor, looking north-east. The good news about not having 
any cube walls is that the floor plan really flows!



At an estimated $500, this represents one of the more valuable "piles of crap" which pepper the abandoned areas.



Building 4, "The building that never was."
Remember how fun it was to watch the giant crane raise the walls?

That was cool.
