The former Bell Labs building, an iconic structure of concrete, steel, and glass, in Holmdel, #NewJersey, built between 1959 and 1962, was one of the final projects of Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen. It served as a research and development complex for the Bell Laboratories division of Bell Telephone, later known as AT&T, Lucent, and Alcatel-Lucent. This building covers 2,000,000 square feet over 6 floors. Here, Bell researchers invented the cell phone and discovered background radiation. The lab also produced eight Nobel Prize-winning discoveries. The site was vacated in the early 2000s and is now owned by Somerset Development. They are reimagining the site as a major adaptive reuse project. Once complete, the main building will house restaurants and shops, offices, a hotel, and the town library. A number of homes will also be constructed on the site. Once listed by Preservation NJ as an endangered site after calls for its demolition, there is much hope for a renewal in what is a real grand space! #nj #njhistory #historygirl #SpreadTheHistory #holmdelnj #holmdel #belllabs #bellworks #architecture #archi_ologie #travelblog #travelblogger #blog #blogger #att #belltelephone #modernism #ushistory #americanhistory #technology #nobelprize #adaptivereuse #preservation #thisisnj #jerseycollective #centraljersey #njspots #explorenj #igersnj (at Bell Works)

Here’s a movie from the friendly folks at Bell Telephone about one of these events: https://youtu.be/y2yNxpx7IFg
