In 2008, construction began on the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center's new field station research facility in Alton, Illinois, near the National Great Rivers Museum along Highway 143 and adjacent to the Melvin Price Locks and Dam. The completed structure will be a LEED-Certified model of "green" construction where scientists will focus on ecosystem restoration, floodplain and watershed management, and achieving sustainability for rivers and their environments.
