Sometime in 1988 Litton decided to move our section to a different building. Prior to that, all of our computing equipment was in a crowded room that was not properly designed as a computer room. When they told us about the plans, they also allowed for us to design and implement a properly-outfitted computer room, since our systems were by this time deemed essential to the business.
The task of designing the computer room was given to me. This included the layout, placement of equipment, cabling requirements and design, and some hardware selection. It was, for me, something new and challenging — but I enjoyed doing it.
When the room was finally ready and all cables pre-installed, I was asked if I could manage to get the systems back up within 3 days after the move. I readily agreed, but because of all my pre-planning and careful labeling of all cables, we were back up and running in 24 hours!
I found a video that I took shortly after the room was put in service, and added some descriptive narration. (I noticed afterwards that I stated it was around 1985, but I saw a date stamp later in the video that showed 1989. Assuming the camera date was set correctly, this was likely 1989.)
