Green Buildings
The Ogden Nature Center takes great pride in its facilities, particularly those that are eco-friendly and model best practices for building.
L.S. Peery Education Center
Constructed in 2004, The L. S. Peery Education Center is a 7,100 sq. ft. green building with classrooms, teacher preparation areas and volunteer space for the Nature Center’s extensive nature education programming.
The L.S. Peery Education Center is a model of sustainable and energy efficient design. Planned as an extension of its natural setting, the building uses a variety of materials and systems to demonstrate effective and attractive strategies of good environmental design.
The Visitor Center
Constructed in 1994, the Visitor Center houses the Nest Gift Shop, a Discovery Room full of nature exhibits, and administrative offices for the Ogden Nature Center.
The building itself is an example of environmentally friendly design. Planned to fit in with its natural surroundings, the building is situated among gardens and ponds which provide habitat for many insects, birds and small animals.
