Qualcomm Moves Offices, Milton Road, Cambridge - 26th July 2006
Nosher's place of work moves less than a mile from one side of Milton Road in Cambridge - on the mini Police State that is the Business Park - to the other, in the shape of the campus-like Science Park, which was really the culmination of the original vision right back in those heady 3G Lab start-up days. During the move, we have to return to the old place to clear up the remaining detritus before the lease can be completed, which gives a last chance to look around the building in more-or-less the same state it was before we moved in, back in 2001. In between the two days of moving, there are some poppies by the side of the road near Wickham Skeith which needed a photo - it was just as well as when heading back to work the next day, they'd all been strimmed.

Craig rummages about for something in Matrix House
Nosher's old desk
One of the conference rooms
The devices lab is still in use
A corner of the office
Louise mills about
Craig comforts James
The old Stick Game room
The staff kitchen
A big reel of bubble wrap - pink and white
A bunch of bright red fire extinguishers
More 'crate city'
Mathworks' (Matrix House) reception
The building's reception front desk
Mathwork's upstairs balcony
More vacant desks
There's a queue for food in the new building
The new engineering area
Nosher's desk is by the window
Glass-walled offices
Arun looks around
Nick sorts his cabling out in the new office
It's even more 'cable city' than the old office
Cleaning windows in the downstairs mini-kithen
Debs, almost hidden behind a bunch of boxes
Downstairs is a bit chaotic
The comms room
Clare wanders around armed with bins
By the back door: a heap of crap
Groovy big electrical switchgear
There's a massive pile of cardboard out the back
Stuck on the A14 on the way back home
Poppies by the road near Wikham Skeith
Poppies and barley
A solitary poppy
Some small pink flowers
The next day, the old office is almost empty
Matrix House is a bit of a tip
A wrecked floor socket and network outlet
Clare tidies up
A solitary chair
The old reception desk
The almost-empty office
Clare looks a bit lost in the old East Wing
Outside, the skip had been empty when we arrived
Up in the roof void of New Building
Bundles of orange fireproof Cat-6 cable
Hint: you can use the left and right cursor keys to navigate between albums, and between photos when in the photo viewer
