The Expo celebrates the formation of the University of Illinois’ Institute of Natural Resource Sustainability (INRS), which unites the four state scientific surveys—the ISGS, the Illinois Natural History Survey, the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (formerly the Waste Management Research Center), and the Illinois State Water Survey. The Expo will be held at the Natural Resources Building, 607-615 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, Illinois (the same site as the former ISGS Open House). The hours of operation are Friday, March 13, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and Saturday, March 14, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm The Expo is free and open to the public.
