Ok - why not:

SURAnet NOC started in a little tiny room at the Univ of Maryland
then moved off campus to a building in College Park (stones throw
away from campus but not on campus) on Route 1. Technically I believe
something that could be considered a backup NOC for SURAnet was
run at the Georgia Tech Campus.

And now you know the rest of the story.....
