The city of Livermore has completed another component of its ongoing downtown revitalization plan with the official opening of Livermorium Plaza last week, nearly one year after work began on the project.
Construction of Livermorium Plaza at Mills Square Park is expected to begin in July and last about 10 months, according to the City of Livermore.
The plaza will commemorate the discovery of the synthetic element Livermorium, created by scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in collaboration with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Russia.
Livermorium, a highly radioactive element with an atomic number of 116, was first detected and then confirmed in experiments conducted from 2000 to 2006. The element was named Livermorium by the International Union of Pure and Applied Science in 2012.
The plaza, at the corner of First Street and Livermore Avenue, will feature a granite water feature, seating areas, shade trees, and âspecial lighting for all to enjoy,â according to the city.
