Directions: Go to the southeast corner of the Atrium and enter the Washington Research Foundation Suite, home to CSE administration.



CSE's famed Steam-Powered Turing Machine mural is an eye-catching backdrop for the reception desk.


Windows of the chair's conference room look out on the Sylvan Grove and the four columns that graced the UW's original building.

When we left Sieg Hall, we did not leave CSE history behind. A striking piece of that history is the unique Steam-Powered Turing Machine mural, painted with tongue in cheek by a group of students in 1987. It filled a wall in a Sieg Hall stairwell. We had the mural photographed, reproduced, and placed where everyone can enjoy it. Be sure to take a close look.

To the left of the mural, follow the hallway into the main administrative suite and you will be at the chair's conference room. Our new building for the twenty-first century also honors the UW's nineteenth-century origins. The chair's conference room has a great view of the Sylvan Grove and the four classic columns from the Territorial University, built in 1861 at Fourth Avenue and University Street in the heart of downtown.
