Tour at NIWA

• 2:00 – 3:00 PM Friday 17 February, at NIWA, 301 Evans Bay Parade, Greta Point, Wellington 6021.
• Plan to check in at the reception desk at the Allen Building (301 Evans Bay Parade, Greta Point).
• We’ll take the full tour, not just the machine room, but the support rooms (power, cooling, backup power) and the tape facility (yes, that room which previously held the #89 system on the 1999 TOP500).
• Contact Jeff Zais directly (jeff.zais@niwa.co.nz, +64 27 232 9853 mobile) with any questions.
