The nature Learning Center is a two-story new construction project that will bring updated capabilities and amenities to the nature preservation campus in the historic Niobrara Scenic River Valley. The goal of the construction is to provide a building that is sensitive to the environment, durable to all manner of natural hazards, and celebratory of the beautiful site it sits upon. The project is also dictated by strict ordinances governing the placement and size of buildings along the river corridor. The materials were chosen to be non-combustible and resilient, and locally available.
