10, 9, 8, 7,... The Perimeter Countdown!

Next week the Uptown Waterloo will embrace the new landmark building of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.

The Perimeter Institute was born on October 23, 2000 from the visionary initiative of Research In Motion, RIM's founder and Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis, to generously donate $100 million.

Besides the cutting edge research in theoretical physics, the Perimeter Institute is involved in the cultural/educational life of the local and global community. The public informal sessions about the universe mysteries, quantum theory, time, etc. (when the researchers descend from their tower to illuminate us on their passion to fundamental physics research) are a real delight.

Only from the descriptions, pictures and sketches every office worker will envy the lucky residents of this building. My feeling is that the new building architecture only by itself will attract more and more people to participate in the cultural life of the Uptown Waterloo.

So...if you can, don't miss the countdown and come on to Uptown Waterloo to see the RIM's gift to our community. Take a look at the scheduled activities for the Open House day of Saturday, October 2nd and don't forget to reserve the tickets as advised at the bottom of the schedule page.

10, 9, 8, 7,... Numaratoarea inversa a "Perimeter"-ului!
[in Romanian]:

Saptamina viitoare "Uptown Waterloo" (centrul orasului Waterloo) va imbratisa noua cladire de referinta a Institutului de Fizica Teoretica, Perimeter.

Institutul Perimeter s-a nascut pe 23 Octombrie, 2000 din initiativa vizionara a lui Mike Lazaridis (fondatorul si Co-Directorul Executiv Sef al firmei Research In Motion (RIM)) de a dona generos 100 milioane dolari.

In afara de cercetarile de virf in fizica teoretica, Institutul Perimeter este implicat in viata culturala/educationala a comunitatii locale si globale. Sesiunile informale publice despre misterele universului, teoria cuantica, timp, etc. (cind cercetatorii coboara din turnul lor sa ne lumineze asupra pasiunii lor in cercetarea fizicii teoretice) sint o incintare reala.

Numai din descrieri, poze si schite orice lucrator de birou va invidia ocupantii norocosi ai acestei cladiri. Parearea mea este ca arhitectura noii cladiri numai prin ea insasi va atrage din ce in ce mai multi oameni sa participe la viata culturala a "Uptown Waterloo".

Deci...daca puteti, nu scapati numaratoarea inversa si veniti in Uptown Waterloo sa vedeti darul firmei RIM facut comunitatii noastre. Vezi activitatile planificate pentru ziua "Open House" de Simbata, 2 Octombrie si nu uitati sa rezervati bilete.
