  • Photo #1 shows the heavy earth terminal during a terminal upgrade. Photo #2 shows the master control room after its completion in 1961. Photo #3 shows the Blue Cube after its completion in the late '60s. The photo was taken across the street in what used to be a Lockheed Martin facility and what is now the headquarters for Ariba.
