I'm pretty sure that's the Hammerschlag Hall faculty parking lot and the staircase in the background is the one that goes up to Porter Hall.

This is adjacent to the current lot, the stair in the background is not the current one. There used to be this paved area that went underneath the steps to the entrance of Hamerschlag. There was also a loading dock there where I assume this hexapod made it out from wherever in Wean Hall it was constructed. This area is now occupied by lab space and from above is planted with grass.

It lived in a garage under the bridge, on the Wean/Porter side, between the cut and Hammerschlag.

Lived as in, you never left the lab or actually lived?? I spent more time in that building than almost anyone during my day, so 'lived there' is a loaded term :)

That door was a lifesaver when it was freezing cold and you got out of a deep down Schlag basement after soldering some stuff and had to go to your dh basement classes!

Also quick access to the weak library!

I assume you mean "wean library" instead of weak library lol
