Plans for installing a Univac at the Research Institute were detailed in SUN Magazine, a Sperry Rand publication, around 1962. The author of "The Alabama Research Institute: A Dreams Comes True for Huntsville and Dr. Hermann" notes that "Recently Dr. [Rudolf] Hermann completed arrangements with officials of the Univac Division of Sperry Rand Corporation for installation of a Univac 1107."
Named for UAH professor Harold Wilson, the building was previously known as the Science and Engineering Building. The library can be seen in the background.
