Building MIT's Stata Center: An IT Perspective
Much has been written about doing large IT relocations in the context of growing commercial businesses, including a number of LISA papers. Making such a major move in a university research lab involves challenges typically not faced in the business world. This talk describes the context, challenges, and lessons from MIT CSAIL's move from its 40-year-old home in commercial office space to the $300 million Ray and Maria Stata Center. We hope to offer some advice for other institutional IT groups facing the challenge of relocating several hundred scientists.
