we’re gold

In October 2010, The Discovery Center was certified a Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy Efficient Design) building. Over 200 environmentally efficient and friendly practices and materials went into the construction of this unique building. The result is a building that used less energy while being constructed and currently operates with a lower long-term impact on the environment. If you would like to know more about what makes us gold, ask a Visitor Services Associate for more information or take the self-guided Green Building Tour during your next visit.
