A dynamic environmental education center that is the catalyst for revitalizing a physically and aesthetically deficient urban brownfield site

Not only does the Audubon Center serve as a learning facility connecting urban youth with their natural environment, the building itself acts as an instructor of sustainable design practices

The center’s 18,400 square feet program includes classrooms, library/bird viewing area, a multi-purpose space, a nature store, and administrative offices all organized around an interactive central exhibit/circulation space

The building’s single-story massing and east-west axial orientation are keys to successfully advancing the facility’s energy efficiency initiatives
