While I wasn’t paying attention, MIT’s Laboratory for Computer Sciences and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory merged into one entity: MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). In recent times, the two labs were not exactly on speaking terms, but it appears that differences have been put aside and similarities, or at least redundancies in staffing and objectives, have been embraced. And if all goes well, they will both be moving into the new Stata Center sometime next year. The characteristically bulgy, Frank Gehry designed building has been plagued by cost overruns and schedule slips. If you’ve got some spare cash lying around, there are still naming opportunities available. The childcare center can be had for $3.5 million, or perhaps you’d like a boardroom to carry your name for $1.5 million. Laboratories and lounges are a bargain at $100,000-$500,000.
