The machine's multiton magnet was so gigantic that, according to university folklore, a decade earlier administrators had to blast a hole in an exterior wall and recruit the football team to maneuver the block of iron into the building.
Well, folklore or not, I know someone who specializes now in moving labs from one building to another. She told me the exact same story, except than in her case the problem was to get the machine out ( some kind of accelerator as well, and it had been built on premises). She had to make a hole in the wall too!
