History
CRC opened in September 1981 as part of
a $23 million south campus
dormitory and South Mid-Quads. A $2 million gift from
the Sherman Fairchild Foundation of Chevy project, which included the
construction of ISRC, Jones,
PARC, 1835 Hinman and North Chase, Maryland (hence CRC's dual name,
East Fairchild), helped
provide equipment and finance other expenses for CRC. Sherman Fairchild
(1896-1971) was a pioneer in photography, aviation, and sound
engineering. He founded Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation and
Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation.
Radiothon
Radiothon
is a charity event that spans
48 hours and
involves continuous radio shows, parties, games, and events. It began
in 1988 in honor of one of CRC’s former residents, Tech junior William
G. Arnold, who passed away in his sleep due to a condition known as
heart arrhythmia.
