The Spacesim Office is located at the site of Lisgar Collegiate Institute, a high school in downtown Ottawa. It is on the top floor of the North Building, at the far Eastern end of the hall. The office is mainly used as a lunch time hangout for those seeking sanctuary from the bustle of the halls, or those who seek the warmth of a glowing cathode ray tube.
Historically, the office has been in official control of the teacher-advisor. However, since its creation during the renovation of the Science Floor, it has been occupied by students. Because of this, keys are provided to the Commanders and some senior members, one of whom must be present when other students are using the office.
Purpose
The Sim Office was, in the past, mainly a place of recreation housing two Sega Genesis machines. The Mission Commanders, however, intend for it to be used for work.
To that end, an old Macintosh computer with word processing capabilities and a printer had been installed by the Mission Commanders of 2006-07 to allow for the drafting of Spacesim related documents in the Office.
Currently, a fully-fledged network of PCs obtained from the West-Stairs Spawn Point by the grace of Mr. Kronberg resides in the office, and offers a full simulator in the form of a piloting, engineering, and simulator computer. This allows members to practice their software skills without needing access to the facilities at 440 Albert Street. Also, these computers will be useful for the proposed plan to make the Sim Office the new mission control after the move to the New Facilities.
The office also houses a telephone capable of "dialing-out" that has been used several times to contact schools for the Galileo Challenge.
Lore
Various Sim Lore articles are posted on the Sim office bulletin boards. These include Trogdor lyrics, news articles concerning Pink Water, and a proposal for a kitty-butter star drive.
There is also a multitude of objects that adorn the shelves and sometimes the walls of the Sim Office including Sebulba!!!!
