LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) - Los Alamos National Laboratory plans to demolish a two-story, former administration building that is among a number of Manhattan Project and Cold War-era structures slated for cleanup.
The lab will use federal stimulus money on the project.
Laboratory, congressional and other dignitaries plan a ceremony Dec. 1 marking the demolition of the former administration building, the first major demolition funded by stimulus money.
A large excavator will begin breaking down the roof and the walls of the building that day.
Los Alamos lab received $212 million in stimulus funds for environmental cleanup and monitoring.
