Gauthier, Alvarado & Associates was awarded this project as a result of a design competition. The program calls for two new separate facilities, educational and administrative, both of which utilize sustainable design principles, while facilitating the Foundation's multi-faceted mission as stewards, researchers, educators and guardians of the parkland. The program called for a +/- 2,500 SF classroom/exhibit building for use by visiting school groups and a +/- 5,000 SF administration building for use by program and support staff. The classroom building incorporates a large multi- purpose room with breakout facilities; exhibit space, kitchen, storage and a mud room. The administrative portion of the project houses open landscape offices, private offices for officers, joint use areas, conference rooms, a resource library and reading room, and staff support areas.
