William Gates Building, Cambridge, Computer science building at University of Cambridge, England
The William Gates Building contains lecture halls, research spaces, and a central corridor named The Street that connects all main facilities within the structure.
The Computer Laboratory building opened in 2001 following a significant donation from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which provided half of the construction funds.
The building features a glass wall in the communal area displaying the original EDSAC Initial Orders, connecting modern students with computing history.
Located at 15 JJ Thomson Avenue in West Cambridge, the facility uses motion sensors for lighting and an advanced convection system for temperature control.
The main corridor contains tiles with binary UTF-8 patterns that spell out Computer Laboratory 2001, incorporating computing language into the physical design.
