The entrance to the Marsfield site
CSIRO's Marsfield site was opened in 1968, and the picture above left was taken in the early years of the site's existence. The picture at right shows the entrance today. A lot has changed (including the grammatical change from C.S.I.R.O. to CSIRO)! The newly added wings, which includes the current Reception, were added in 1995. The extensive use of glass in the new building prompted staff member Graeme Carrad to quip that the new section should be named Windows 95! (Image at left from CRAIA)
