I can well remember how the Ab Lab (in the Abercrombie mechanical
engineering building) looked and smelled at Rice University from 1990-1994,
as its Sun 3s and RT-6000s were replaced by SparcStations...but I don't
have any pictures of it.

Hello,
I’m looking for photographs of university computer labs from 1985 until
1995,
particularly labs full of unix workstations, of course. Does anyone
here have photos like that in their collection?
I’m also thinking of reaching out to university archivists, but I don’t
have any
direct connections to any.
There may be some photos of MIT’s Project Athena rooms in the collections
of the MIT Museum (http://mitmuseum.mit.edu/contact) or the Institute
Archives at the MIT Libraries (
https://libraries.mit.edu/distinctive-collections/collections/institute-arc…)
In a quick search online, I only found photos of the original terminal
rooms, with terminals connected to VAXen running UNIX. The workstations
were deployed in 1986 +/-, I think.
