UCSD Center for Magnetic Recording Research

Never a dull time sometimes.
Location is paramount for researchers inundated with measurements and menial in-​between tasks on the blackest plains in hell’s domain that must be traversed on the pilgrimage to PhDom. There’s a 24hr Burger King a cobblestone’s toss over yonder. The well-​rested and fleet-​footed among gourmet connoisseurs will note that those who indulge in high-​risk-​high-​reward endeavors may opt for the far more distant expedition to satiate their surely-​starving-​upon-​arrival stomachs with a Tapioca Express. Because this stride of some thirty steps past Burger King involves crossing the Aegean, be sure to pick up some mobile ketchup while in Greece.
The lavatories were masoned on a terrace hierarchy system. Somewhere along the summit of this facility that reaches unknown heights into the heavens lies a fabled untouched, mint, first edition restroom, although this is purely based on educated speculations.
An architectural anomaly, the center stands as something of a Mecca among architects, and in its honor, the university has erected its many buildings of engineering around its span, perhaps to virtually deconstruct and reproduce its shape. The Jacobs School of Engineering stands to its north, but in all its vertical girth and modern glory, it does not even cast a shadow upon this polar pantheon. In more recent times, the Jacobs School of Engineering has had to rather embarrassingly admit its fault in being located where there is a known issue of housical meteors, despite repeated warnings by the architects who erected this CMRR building, a cathedral in celebration our local deity, Quantum, god of measurements. The structural engineering fellows have done well to heed the warnings of their ancestors by constructing their home base on the other side.

#1 Coffee. –1 star for no pastries.

The office furniture is top notch. I recommend the coffee from 104, the roastmasters there are great at what they do.

My recommendation: Watch out for the elevator, it’s a doozy
CMRR is a great place to work, everybody is is very friendly and ever since the new director took over in 2011, social activities have been on the rise!
This is totally the première institution for research in information storage technology!
