We recently had a chance to visit the first version of the Emriver Em4 stream table at Saint Louis University. Dr. Amanda Cox, director of the newly formed WATER Institute at SLU, called to ask for assistance in relocating the stream table to a beautiful new building on the downtown campus.

The confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers at St. Louis provides an ideal setting for this new cross-disciplinary institute, and it’s wonderful to see that our 11-year old Em4 will get to be a part of their great work.

A masked Billiken greets visitors on every door.

The design of the Em4 has been refined since the first build, becoming much lighter and efficient. The help of four strong movers was essential!
