Oh wow I haven't heard of this building. Thank you for the read and
informing me about it. Now i am very intrigued in what is in that
time capsule. We have to wait until 2053 to find out... Gezz I'll be 61 when
that happens.
Just imagine building 20 contained so many research labs despite the
odd conditions. Image what the time capsule is hosting.
