  • Used to be the Business School. The southern wing was built by IBM to house the Western Computer Center. This had a mainframe, cooling tower and 24 hour IBM techs. in a time when computers were gigantic. The Amdahl designed IBM 360/91 produced so much heat that on hot August days the 3 story cooling tower could not keep up with it and the computer would have to be shut down.
