The Center moved to a set of trailers called the Pohick Module on the Mason campus in 2002. In 2005, Pohick was infested with fleas and required fumigation.
When the Center first moved to Research 1, staff was divided among three unconnected office spaces on the 4th floor. In 2009, CHNM acquired the corner office space that had been occupied by a robot lab. With this new space, CHNM's staff could finally work in one contiguous office. Nicknamed the "robot room" for its former occupants, this large open area gave the Center enough space to have multiple group-work tables.
This photo was taken soon after the Center moved into the "robot room."
There are days when the HVAC system on Research 1's roof makes the big room at CHNM shake,. The video shows the Monday bagel bag shaking with some force on the table near the bank of windows in the big room.
