Author Topic: questions:Kodak's Riverwood facility for sale Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-04-2005 10:05 PM                     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.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-05-2005 07:00 PM                        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.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

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.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-05-2005 11:19 PM                     Careful what you say here Adam. Don't forget about those papers we signed regarding Kodak, Area 51 and all those cows.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Probably not the same parts used in Bar-S beef franks.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 11-06-2005 04:36 AM                     The bones.

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.  |  IP: Logged
