Text description provided by the architects. The Walnut Creek Wetland Center is a 7,500 square foot Visitor Center that is part of a transformation of over 50 acres of abused, polluted wetlands in southeast Raleigh near the downtown urban center into a living, natural resource for the city. By reclaiming the wetlands area, the Center promotes understanding and protection of an urban wetland, enhances community pride, and encourages economic development in this area of the city. It also provides an accessible “quiet zone” for communing with nature while preserving the natural beauty of the wetland, protecting the habitat of numerous species, and lifting the spirits of those who visit it.
