Location

The OCESS has occupied three locations over the 19 years of its existance. For the first three years, when there was no permanent Habitat, things were run at (?). In 1990(?), the school board provided the OCDSB Administrative building located at 440 Albert street - the old Ottawa Technical high school. The OCESS occupied a room that had been used previously as a car mechanic's classroom, and had the space to fit several cars simultaeneously.

In 1998, the school board began the process of selling the Tech building, and the OCESS was forced to move to another location: the Ottawa Carleton Educational Media Centre on Bronson Ave. A room on the second floor was remodeled and wired specifically for the OCESS, and missions were run there for three(?) years. At this point, the space in the Media Centre was required by the board. Fortuantely, the Tech building had not been sold after all, and the OCESS was given back its original location at 440 Albert, where it remains to this day.

The facilities at 440 house our mission control facilities, the habitat, our planatary surface, simulator stations, EEP staging grounds and most of our sim equiptment, housed in Copernicus and Keppler
