BOULDER, Colo --- There are few things more fun to watch than the demolition of a really big building. But after all that fun, what happens to all that smashed building? It goes to the landfill.
The hospital was carefully dismantled, piece by piece, salvaging 93.4% of the building material for reuse or recycling, according to the city. That’s 30 million pounds of material kept out of the landfill. Deconstruction took three years. That's eight months longer than traditional demolition would’ve taken and it added 20% in labor costs to the $16 million project.
