The Coram Building
Description
The Coram building is an older office building in the suburb of Lukinswood. An abandoned City Emergency Operations Center and the Emergency Broadcast System are located in a side room of this building. The steel and concrete building was designed by the venerable Swedish architecture firm Ekstrom and Lowenburg, LLC. As such, it has a distinctive curved open floor plan that resulted in cubicles being required to have curved walls to match. The exterior reflects a similar sweeping architectural style, pursuing curves rather than monolithic structure.
History
Once the home of high tech businesses in the 70s, it has mostly been left behind by newer construction elsewhere in Malton. In the mid-80s, the Malton City Council installed their newest Emergency Operations Center complete with Emergency Broadcast System station in a side-room. A hardware update in 1995 brought the entire center up to then-current standards, but with the emergence of digital television and radio standards, the outdated EOC was finally abandoned in 2002. The building itself remained in occasional use as secondary offices for the City Services and a few smaller tech outfits that rented office space there.
Barricade Policy
In accordance with the Lukinswood Optimal Defense Diagram, the Coram Building is to be maintained at EHB at all times. One hopes that a group will eventually put in the effort to actually maintain the building.
