It makes me proud to see my old alma mater get the same tools I got to use at Cray Research 35 years ago. Getting a Failure Analysis, Q/A and Test Engineering job should be a snap.( Yes, I've done all three in my career )

The Architect "Ratcliff" and General Contractor "Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Co." did an amazing job bring this incredible facility to fruition. Great job on the design and quality of construction!
