Nuclear Reactor Building Celebration of Life 1961 - 2016 On July 19, 2016, the Nuclear Reactor Building (NRB) was unceremoniously and quietly demolished by the University of Washington (UW). The passing of this historically and architecturally significant building ends a years-long battle between preservation advocates and the UW. The NRB hailed from the Atomic Age of the 1960s, representing nuclear engineering technology and contributing to the University’s science and research programs. The NRB was unique. It was an architectural, engineering, and artistic marvel dreamed up by a stellar team of University professors and alumni. It set itself apart from the rest of campus with its Brutalist architectural features. Although the NRB is gone, it is not forgotten. Join Historic Seattle, the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, and Docomomo WEWA for a gathering at the NRB/More Hall Annex site to mourn the loss and celebrate the life of the Nuclear Reactor Building: Tuesday, August 9 • 5:30 pm In lieu of flowers, please share stories and memories at the wake, on the Save the Reactor Facebook page or by emailing info@savethereactor.org. Please wear all black attire. We’ll go to a local pub afterwards. No registration or RSVP is required.
