Excavation

Excavation on the NRC site started in August 2008. While preparing the site for excavation, the asphalt and the trees that were on site needed to be removed. The asphalt was sent to a recycler and certain trees were chosen to be taken to a local saw mill to be reused in the future Green Square buildings. All other tree material was taken to the Museum of Natural Science's Prairie Ridge, where it was either chipped and used as mulch or wildlife habitat.
