Text description provided by the architects. The new DuPont Environmental Education Center is part of efforts to restore marshlands along the Christina River in Wilmington, Delaware, while creating economic vitality, enhancing the environment and promoting public access. The site for the new facility is an open expanse of reclaimed wetland located within the Russell W. Peterson Urban Wildlife Refuge at the southernmost edge of Wilmington’s downtown. Housing exhibits, classrooms and offices for nature education and related recreation activities, as well as community meeting and gathering space, the building enhances and encourages the relationship between urban development along the waterfront and the natural environment.
