For decades Indian Creek Nature Center has led the area in sustainable building and operations practices. In 1993, the first net-metered solar panel system in Iowa was installed on the maple sugar house. Relocated to the barn a few years later, these panels have consistently produced 25% of our electricity. This innovative history of sustainability will continue at the Nature Center into the future. As we embark on our future we have committed to a new certification program called the Living Building Challenge (LBC).
Amazing Space is Indian Creek Nature Center's new building and campus that opened in September 2016. It provides endless opportunities for exploration and discovery, and serves as your gateway to the beautiful natural world outside its doors. Relax in the Bird Room, explore at the interactive watershed table, see how much energy the solar panels are producing at the Energy Portal, and pick up some raw honey or maple syrup in our Creekside Shop. Amazing Space is not only beautiful, it's one of the most environmentally sustainable buildings in the country.
