Hear about
K-25, the "Queen Marys", and other scientific and military buildings
of the Manhattan Project. G. Martin
Moeller, Jr., curator of the exhibition Secret
Cities, discusses how extraordinary achievements in architecture and
engineering yielded the world's largest building (K-25) in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee, when it was completed in 1944 and the 800-foot-long chemical
separation plants (Queen Marys) of Hanford, Washington. This talk complements
the exhibition Secret Cities: The
Architecture and Planning of the Manhattan Project, which will be open
before the program.
