The Engineering Closet in the Hawking III is an aptly named closet off of the Interlock. Approximately 4 feet deep by 3 feet wide, the closet is as tall as the rest of the hab and is entirely taken up by 8 wooden boards forming what would be shelves if they were connected by boards. This is because, due to Fire Safety Procedure, a room less than 1 metre along its smallest direction cannot hold students at any time. In the Beta reality the engineering closet theoretically holds the vital machines that keep the habitat going, but for a long time in Alpha reality it most holds old video cards and a box of what is rumoured to be 128 km of fiber-optic cable.
Project to Clean the Engineering Closet
In 2009-10 Bryce Storey and Samuel Baltz began a project to clean up the engineering closet. They
- attached a shelf to the top of the closet's wooden structure
- boarded up holes to make it look airtight
- replaced pieces of duct tape that were letting light through or falling off
- procured a ShopVac and used Aluminium Tape to make it look like an air compression system
- found some boxes with lots of wires
Mikaela Stiver notably designed and built a small door to cover up the indent outside of the engineering closet's power box.
