The first half of this structure, the part closer to skylab, was put up in the 1976-77 summer from a modular metal building that had been sitting in storage for awhile, originally as a shelter for a hydrogen generator (remember, the IGY station did not use helium). The front wood portion was a w/o project in 1981. Anyway, as part of the demo schedule it was time for it to go. This all happened starting about 6 January 2004.

Half removed, this view from the substation near the dome entrance, with the obligatory dryer exhaust from the UB laundry. |
Looking back the other way, the wall panels of the older metal structure have been disassembled. |
Here's an inside view looking towards the door. |
Another view of the back room wall, with more dryer vent exhaust... |
All is gone, as we look towards the back of science. In the 70's this area housed the UCLA gravity hut. |
This view looks the other way towards the substation next to the dome entrance. Under the substation is the 100m borehole done by Bob Rutford and John Rand in 1974-75.. |
