UPDATE: Original Tenant of Building Allegedly Attacked by Joe Stack was Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation just happened to be Bobby Ray Inman, former Director of the National Security Agency and former Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The former Director of the NSA headed a company that leased space in the Echelon Office Park… It’s a nice touch.

Don’t look at me. I just work here.

Again, thanks to Ofgoatsandmen for the tip.

When Girard Kinney learned Thursday morning that a small plane had flown into the Echelon I office building, he knew the building well.

Kinney, an architect, helped design the building at 9430 Research Blvd. some 30 years ago. Built in 1983, the four-story Echelon I was the first of four buildings in the Echelon Office Park.

The original tenant was one of Austin’s first high-tech firms, the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corp. research consortium, Kinney said.

The 64,000-square-foot building, which has an exterior clad in black glass and a two-story atrium, won several design awards, Kinney said.

The Internal Revenue Service now occupies much of the building, with some businesses on the first floor, as well as some unoccupied space.

The building is nearly 88 percent leased, according to CoStar, a commercial real estate data provider.
