IT’S GRAFFITI BOND. GRAFFITI JAMES BOND Proving that no building – historical monument or otherwise – is safe from wild art, “temporary” building T-3 got a stick figure spray paint job. Once a warehouse for radar equipment during World War II, a lightning strike tragically caught T-3 ablaze on May 16, 2006. Even worse, the fire fell just 10 days after the building reopened to the public after two years of renovations. Photo by Liz Dzuro
MAN’S BEST 12-HEADED FRIEND This sculpture of a Greek mythological creature, Cerberus, decorates the courtyard of “temporary” building T-10. T-10 once housed officer’s barracks on the Boca Raton Army Air Field during World War II. Don’t worry – they don’t bite. Photo by Dan Olivar
PLANTER’S PARADISE A scenic view of the “temporary” building T-10’s courtyard. In the background, an awning overhangs three atmospheric kilns, which are periodically visited by T-6’s Pottery Guild graduate students. Photo by Dan Olivar
KEEP OUT! “Temporary” building T-30 is surrounded nearly on all sides by foliage just south of the FAU Research and Development Park. During World War II, the Army Air Corps purposed T-30 as a storage facility for flammables. Today, FAU houses bug sprays and medical waste there. Some things never change. Photo by Dan Olivar
SIGNS OF HISTORY About half the T-Buildings mentioned on this sign have either been bulldozed by FAU or destroyed by one of Florida’s numerous hurricanes. See that black pickup in the distance? T-8 used to sit there before FAU demolished it last February.Photo by Dan Olivar
MORE NAZI MANNEQUINS! 78-year-old Martin Cohen poses next to his mannequins, each of which are clothed in Nazi German garb. His World War II Holocaust and Memorabilia collection could be featured in a museum in “temporary” building T-5 once it’s renovated. Photo by Dan Olivar
CLICK, CLICK BOOM 78-year-old Martin Cohen’s arsenal of World-War II-era guns is part of his massive memorabilia collection, which could potentially be housed in a retrofitted T-5 museum. Photo by Dan Olivar
