Design services for the expansion of an existing visitor's center building at a 1,261-acre natural conservation park. The park harbors mature forests, wildflower meadows and wetlands which are home to a variety of wildlife. The building plan opens public areas for visual control from the information counter and separates them from the administrative areas. The exhibit areas are naturally lighted by a bronze reflective glass block fenestration. Programmatic elements of the facility include a 75-seat auditorium with audio- visual capabilities; administrative and exhibit areas; classrooms and demonstration laboratories. The sloping roof lines of the existing building were maintained in the addition, with dramatic peaks to emphasize the new larger interior spaces. An earth berm around the building and warm earth tones was used to reinforce the facility's natural setting.
