Concrete was poured for CEC’s new visitor and education center on November 26th! We want to thank Ernst Concrete for a discount and making this one of kind project possible! This new education center will expand Cope Environmental Center’s capacity for environmental programs, serve as a community gathering space, and act as a powerful teaching tool for sustainable living in East-Central Indiana. CEC firmly believes that the center’s new facilities must exemplify its philosophy and mission to promote the sustainable use of the earth’s resources. For this reason, CEC is pursuing certification for this project through the Living Building Challenge. “The Living Building Challenge™ is the built environment’s most rigorous performance standard. It calls for the creation of building projects at all scales that operate as cleanly, beautifully and efficiently as nature’s architecture. To be certified under the Challenge, projects must meet a series of ambitious performance requirements over a minimum of 12 months of continuous occupancy.” Learn more here: https://backup.copeenvironmental.org/sustainable-living-education-center-2/
