Development of Aspen East Begins
Moving Day
Dick Utt and the NAL Construction group took advantage of the minimum day-off traffic Saturday, April 25, 1971 to move the house (shown in the photo below) from the former Hadley Farm on Eola Road to the expanding complex on the former Kuhn Farm, at the corner of Sauk Boulevard and Batavia Road in the NAL Village.
Known informally as "Aspen-East," the facilities are being prepared to help accommodate the NAL Summer Study June 22 to July 24th. The study will be attended by approximately 40 high energy physicists from universities and laboratories throughout the United States, Canada and Switzerland, as well as by NAL physicists.
The Hadley house will be joined by a 26-foot corridor to the Kuhn house, already on the corner location. Directly behind the houses is the newly remodeled meeting hall, formerly the Kuhn Farm barn.
The move was done by the Belding Engineering Company of West Chicago which, according to Utt, has handled the majority of the more than 40 moving projects on the NAL site in the last two years. The Aspen-East facility will be in use for some time, as more and more scientists come from all over the world to participate in the NAL program.
