Vast project to consolidate CERN’s technical galleries gets under way

Monash University had a single tech gallery, in a ring around campus. It made some decisions about wiring significantly easier compared to the other Australian Universities, when it came to hook-up-all-the-things. (Monash may IIRC have done their own tty serial line cards for terminals, over copper in this thing before we hit "real" networks)

I believe like CERN it was big enough to drive around. Never went in, may just be rumour.

That map is a screaming invitation to Summer Students looking for a nice Half-Life adventure in the deeper parts of CERN.

Summer and Technical students (or basically anyone with a CERN account) already have access to much more detailed maps, if they care to search around CERN's GIS portal a bit.

Additionally, those who know the right people can get a paper version of the galleries map with all the interesting spots (unlocked entrances, light switches and spots like "zombie cages" or "connor's death") marked.

It will be interesting to see how much of what is pulled out can be recycled, and what ends up in a landfill. I wish them all the best.
