Respondent: Dr. Roger Albin

Representation Summary:

As a scientist with a strong interest in history of science, I urge you to preserve as much of Maxwell's pioneering design as possible. His implementation of laboratories for research and teaching were much more important than many better known contemporary events. Maxwell was, by all accounts, a fairly modest man. Preserving much of his innovative laboratory would be a highly appropriate memorial for this great man and also a tribute to his remarkable successors.
