WHAT IS SUBTROPOLIS?

SubTropolis was created through the mining of a 270-million-year-old limestone deposit. In the mining process, limestone is removed by the room and pillar method, leaving 25-foot square pillars that are on 65-foot centers and 40 feet apart.

SUBTROPOLIS FACTS:

• over 10,000 limestone pillars
• strength of limestone is 18,000 to 24,000 pounds per square inch, which is 6x stronger than concrete
• nearly 45 million square feet (over 1,000 acres) have been mined out since mining began in 1945
