>. Visitor Center Features
Solar panels provide 30% of the buildings’ power
80% of the structure is lit through natural daylight
The most noticeable features are the cooling towers—like a big swamp cooler, they use only a minimal horse-power pump to circulate water through pads to cool air, which then naturally sinks and spills out into the lobby.
Landscaping & Irrigation (Outdoor shade structures & exhibits, native plants, retain existing trees to provide instant shade & aesthetic, historic ditch irrigation & river water system)
