I just read a subect in the forums of http://www.infiltration.org
about Kodak's Riverwood facility being for sale in Forums/ Regional UE/Northeast. One of the forum members was there & took photos of the building exteriors but is wondering what is inside the buildings. If Mr. Pytlak has visited there,he can probably give details of what's inside thr buildings.

One of the buildings was mostly open office space with movable cubicles. Another was mostly seminar and training rooms, including two large auditoria. The third was mostly lab space for hands-on training. They were connected by an underground tunnel to a fourth building that has a large dining hall that overlooks the Genesee River. The complex was built in the early 1970's.

I've taken quite a few courses there. It was a beautiful training facility, but inconvenient because it was about a 15 mile drive from other Kodak facilities to the north.

They built a new building (Building 20) at Kodak Office in downtown Rochester that has many classrooms for training. Much routine training is now done using on-line courses, so you never have to leave your desk, and can proceed at your own pace.

Actually, Kodak Office is in a very nice location, with the Genesee River "High Falls" a short walk away, and the minor league baseball stadium "Frontier Field" right next door. A new soccer stadium adjacent to Kodak Office will open next year.

LIES! Kodak operated its Alien Technology division out of the Riverwood facility. It's where the formula for VISION color print film was first decoded. They had the US Air Force come in and "clean" the buildings, so there's nothing left now.

Careful what you say here Adam. Don't forget about those papers we signed regarding Kodak, Area 51 and all those cows.

What parts of the cow are used to make motion picture film?

Probably not the same parts used in Bar-S beef franks.

Wow.

Clear gooey gelatin made from cow bones! Martians were indeed involved!

I offer a motion for Kodak to build a new facility in Roswell, New Mexico. Only seems fitting.
