Title
ERC Foundation Construction
Full Description
This is an aerial view of the foundation construction for NASA's
Electronics Research Center (ERC) at Kendall Square in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Center opened in September 1964
and has the particular distinction of being the only NASA Center
to close, shutting down in June 1970. Its mission was to develop
new electronics and to train new graduates as well as NASA
employees. The ERC actually grew while NASA eliminated
major programs and cut staff in other areas. Between 1967 and
1970, NASA cut permanent civil service workers at all Centers
with one exception, the ERC, whose personnel grew annually until
its closure. For more information about the ERC, please see
