The modules and the vault were specially designed by Stanley Steel. When people purchased their module they were given special instructions to ensure that what they put inside would last until 2087. They were told to use acid free paper, not to put anything that could rot or damage other items, and not to include any fragile or easily breakable items. The 299 modules were placed inside a custom made vault. The vault was filled with a special type of sand to absorb any moisture. The vault was made air tight and then welded shut. The vault was buried infron of the monument. Cement was poured over as a final layer of protection from the elements, and any vandals.
