Architect Randy Brown designed a slit in the Cor-Ten steel panels to signify the 100-year floodplain. The Nebraska Natural Resources District mandated that the station sit above the line.   Photo © Farshid Assassi The architects perched the station on thin, galvanized steel tubes that have very little effect on the rise and flow of the river. A V-shaped observation deck deflects ice and logs that could damage the station if the water table reached that height.   Photo © Farshid Assassi A rendering of one of the stations depicts the water-testing equipment and tanks necessary for the toxicology research, as well as the computer/workstation.   Photo © Farshid Assassi A steel grate door doubles cleverly as a beaker stand when open and secured against the wall.   Photo © Farshid Assassi The station houses water testing equipment, like these pipes that attach to specimen tanks.   Photo © Laura Raskin The station houses water testing equipment, like these pipes that attach to specimen tanks.   Photo © Laura Raskin The station houses water testing equipment, like these pipes that attach to specimen tanks.   Photo © Laura Raskin The station houses water testing equipment, like these pipes that attach to specimen tanks.   Photo © Laura Raskin The station houses water testing equipment, like these pipes that attach to specimen tanks.   Photo © Laura Raskin The station houses water testing equipment, like these pipes that attach to specimen tanks.   Photo © Laura Raskin The station houses water testing equipment, like these pipes that attach to specimen tanks.
