The Harris Center was originally built in 1905 as a private home. Nearly a hundred years later, it was renovated to better serve its new use as an environmental education center. When we embarked on the renovation, we made a firm commitment to preserving as much of the original structure as possible and to utilizing sustainable building practices. Composting toilets conserve water and electricity. A wood pellet boiler heats the building using pellets made from sawdust, and solar panels generate a portion of our electricity.
