More than 50 former students of the IfM had a first look at the Alan Reece building - the IfM's new home on the West Cambridge site - at an open day on Saturday, September 26th.

It's the second time the IfM's new £15 million building, has thrown open its doors to alumni. Earlier this year more than 70 ex-MET and ISMM students attended the annual garden party.

Visitors had guided tours of the building and saw demonstrations in the Industrial Photonics and the automation laboratories.

Professor Mike Gregory, head of the IfM, also outlined the Institute's present and future activities.
