On March 26th and 27th, 1998, we celebrated the remarkable story of MIT's Magical Incubator. Over the decades, Building 20 has been home to the Research Laboratory for Electronics, the Laboratory for Nuclear Science, the Acoustics Laboratory, the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, the Integrated Studies Program, the Solar Electric Vehicle Team, ROTC, the Tech Model Railroad Club, and many others. Many of these groups led to important and groundbreaking developments. Since then, an amazing assortment of laboratories, organizations, student groups, and offices has taken shelter under its wings. During World War II it was built to house the radiation laboratory, and it's here that MIT engineers refined the development of radar and helped win the war. Soon it will pass into history, but this legendary structure- MIT's Magical Incubator- won't be forgotten. NARRATOR: Building 20 was built as a temporary facility in 1943.
