New York Times Moves to New Headquarters

NYTimes:

"Amid champagne corks and moving boxes, New York Times staffers selected all the news that was fit to print for a final time at their century-old headquarters on Saturday.

"The newspaper's Manhattan employees were busy packing up their storied stone building in Midtown and moving the newsroom into a shining new tower just a few blocks away.

"It's also a leap into the 21st century -- a 52-story, ceramic-and-glass skyscraper filling a city block, packed with the latest technology.

...

"The new building incorporates a transparent-looking tower screened by planes of glazed ceramic tubes that absorb sunlight and transform it into energy.

"It offers ''Less Stuffiness, Better Ventilation,'' according to a poster tacked to the wall of the old building.

"By Saturday afternoon, the water fountains in the old headquarters were turned off. But there was champagne."
