1999

In 1999, the Red Room was closed. The event was marked with an unofficial ceremony by long-time employees of UW's various computing organizations. The facility was replaced by added floor space, additional offices, and more room for other equipment. Despite serious illness, Wes Graham attended the ceremony.
