V-Site restoration project wins award
The Laboratory's V-Site Restoration Project recently received the National Trust/ACHP Award for Federal Partnerships in Historic Preservation.
V-Site at Technical Area 16 is where the Trinity device was assembled in the Laboratory's Manhattan Project years. It consists of a cluster of hastily erected wooden sheds constructed in 1942 as part of the Manhattan Project. The buildings stood empty and faced demolition until the 1990s, when historians and preservationists mobilized to save and restore them.
Lab employees recognized for their efforts in the preservation of V-Site were John Isaacson of Risk Reduction and Ellen McGehee of Ecology and Air Quality. Also recognized were Crocker Ltd. of Santa Fe, the Atomic Heritage Foundation, and Ingrid A.C. Kolb of the Department of Energy.
