The project involved the demolition of the existing Visitor's Center and construction of a new highly efficient (beyond Net Zero), 6,500 G.S.F., one-story Visitor's Center over an existing basement/crawl space.
The new Visitor's Center consists of a lobby, exhibit areas, public & staff restrooms, administrative spaces, conference spaces, lunchroom, kitchenette, gift shop/bookstore, and storage areas.
GGD provided MEP-FP and Technology systems design. Sustainable features include a solar parking canopy, electric vehicle charging stations, LED lighting, daylight harvesting, energy recovery unit ventilator, and HVAC and lighting controls.
