@va2lam @mcnees Building 34, home of the big lecture hall 34-101, is the "EG&G Education Center". Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier were all associated with Course VI, and Joel Moses liked to tell the story of how each man was convinced to give money for the building's construction by telling him that the other two had agreed. (Building 34 was designed as part of the 36–38 complex but the money ran out and 34 was deferred until additional funds could be raised.)
