"An end of an era" in Holmdel.

Significant quotes from articles about the sale of the former AT&T location in Holmdel.

"Bell Labs used to house nearly 6,000 employees. It is currently hovering around 1,000." Greater Media News, 3/29/06

"The building, designed in 1959 by architect Eero Saarinen, the designer of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, has been heralded as an architectural innovation." Home News Tribune Online, 3/25/06

"She noted the building was constructed specially for Bell Labs. 'When a building is built for a specific customer, in stages, by definition it is difficult to reuse,' she said." "Lucent's landmark", Asbury Park Press, 7/17/05

I worked there for six years. My favorite office was located on the third floor, just level with the treetops in the atria.
