The building that houses the Tree-Ring Lab today was the first machine shop during the years of Lamont's participation in the large ocean drilling and mapping projects of the 1950's and 60's. Then, machinists designed and built many of the world's first deep ocean sampling and measuring systems. Only recently has the building been remodeled to house the Tree-Ring Lab. Inside and out the building still retains much of its original appearance and unique character reflective of its early scientific history including the 2ton crane that once moved heavy motors and drilling tools around the shop.
