Leaders and project managers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management meet March 4, 2025, to celebrate a successful partnership and the completed construction of the K-25 Interpretive Center at East Tennessee Technology Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The building includes a viewing platform where visitors can see the area where the K-25 Gaseous Diffusion Process Building once enriched uranium and stood in support of the Manhattan Project. The K-25 Building operated from June 1943 until it ceased operations in 1987. It has since been demolished due to environmental hazards and decreasing structural integrity. OREM officials plan to install exhibits in the new interpretive center constructed by USACE before holding a grand opening for the public in September 2025 that corresponds with the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
