From August 15-24, the Army Corps of Engineers will conduct soil sampling of the portions of campus that were not included in the first round of sampling. The sampling will begin on the Reeves soccer field and progress through the northern portion of campus and across Massachusetts Avenue.

This sampling is part of an on-going effort to fully understand the impact of the Army's use of the campus during World War I.

We will continue to keep you informed as other Army Corps related activities are scheduled and as the results of these sampling efforts are returned to the University. Please call the AU Information Line at 202-885-2020, or access our website at www.american.edu/usace if you have questions about the Army Corps of Engineers Project at AU.
