The end is near for the original Microsoft Redmond campus. The nine buildings that formed the original campus are slated for demolition to make way for a new campus redesign. The buildings are making a final farewell tour this month, and last week, former Microsoft employees were invited back for one last hurrah in Building 2.

Not mentioned in the article is a sign posted in the front door of the building:

Building Closed

Access Restricted

What’s Happening

This building is being prepared and made safe for demolition.

What this means to you.

You will no longer get lost trying to find the conference rooms.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this work. If you left any belongings or articles behind and wish to retrieve them please contact xxxxxx.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
