Over the years, the advent of new technology has resulted in periodic renovation of the facilities at Fan Mountain. Inevitably, the by-product of such progress has been the accumulation of impressive quantities of outdated and no-longer-utilized equipment. After more than 30 years of operation, it was decided that FMO needed a good cleaning. During the week of 16 July 2001, a number of Astronomy Department members picked up their brooms and crowbars and attacked the task of purging old equipment from the observatory grounds.

Some photos of the effort can be seen by following the links at the left.
