New Lab
Here are some photos of my new lab at work:

This is our storage cupboard. I'm still unpacking, though the NAO boxes are now on the racks.

This is a view across the lab towards the "DigiWall". Everyone is very excited about the DigiWall - I haven't a clue what we will actually do with it. The man you can see spent two days setting it up and has now vanished. I've not attempted to use it. Hopefully there are instructions somewhere.

This is the route from the entrance to the lab to the offices and meeting room based within the lab. I'm going to have to do something risk assessment-wise to ensure that people can always safely access their offices (though one of my PhD students today was suggesting it might be good exercise to have to dodge drones on the way to his office).

This is my office which now contains a desk. I realise it looks a bit unprepossessing but most of our offices look a bit like this. It's smaller than my old office but I do have the rest of the space (including a meeting room) to play with so I think on the whole I've traded up.
My colleagues in Engineering who three years ago were all moved into a ginormous custom-built state of the art building where there is not enough room and they have to share offices are all a bit gob-smacked by how I managed to get this much space. I'm not honestly sure I know either - I forsee spending the rest of my career defending my territory.

Nice lab! And presumably the tiny little office space will discourage people from coming in to talk to you.

Oh, yeah, that would do it. On the one hand, I understand the need for locked labs. On the other hand, I hate them.
