Los Alamos National Laboratory has completed demolition of its former Administration Building five months ahead of the original schedule.
“After we removed all regulated, hazardous materials such as asbestos, our team was able to recycle about 95 percent of the building,” Darrik Stafford, LANL’s project director for the demolition, said in a news release.
The building was more than 300,000 square feet.
The site of the former Administration Building, in the short term, will become an open area to include sidewalks, low-maintenance landscaping and parking for about 140 vehicles. Longer term, land also will be available for construction of new facilities.
