K-25 Museum
YEAR: 2020
LOCATION: Oak Ridge, TN
SIZE: 7,960 SF
PROJECT SUMMARY:
The K-25 gaseous diffusion site was instrumental during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project. Constructed and operated in complete secrecy, thousands of people worked 24/7 to produce the uranium for the first atomic bomb in what was at the time the world’s largest building.
Upon completion of the next phases, the site will include the original K-25 footprint with wayside exhibits, a Viewing Tower representing a deconstructed version of the K-25 building, in addition to the History Center Museum completed in February 2020.
