1) Hut-B6 was built at the Tofino airport as temporary army barracks in World War II, then moved here.
2) Calcitonin was discovered in Hut-B6.

According to ZGSA 2019: But what is Huts?! The rumours are true: Huts is an event like no other. Join us for a a night of farcical comedy, whimsical theatrics and fearless singing/dancing, as our very own grad students put on a *high-quality production* that provides endless embarrassment (and the occasional heart-warm) to our faculty. Everybody is welcome to sit back, relax and enjoy our show. Audience participation is not mandatory (except for one lucky post-doc).
