Siebel Center       The $64M Thomas M. Siebel Center for Computer Science was made possible through the generosity of Thomas M. Seibel, CEO of Seibel Systems and matching funding from the State of Illinois.  Ground was broken on the new facility on November 15, 2001, and it was dedicated May 1, 2004.  The building's 225,000 square feet are intended to be a "computing habitat…incorporating intelligent technology that anticipates and responds to [human] activity".  Designed by LZT Associates, Inc, and Bohlin, Cywinski, and Jackson, the Seibel Center won the Illinois Engineering Council's 2004 Outstanding Engineering Achievement award.         The Siebel Center takes the place of the Digital Computer Laboratory (DCL) as the home of the Department of Computer Science.  Similar to the Beckman Institute, the Seibel Center features an onsite café, the Bevande Café, which offers a variety of food and beverage items.    Fast Facts about the Siebel Center   Date Built:   November 15, 2001 (Groundbreaking)  May 1, 2004 (Dedication)   Full Name:   Thomas M.
