CRISSY FIELD CENTER
Super Green National Park Education Center
Located on the edge of the San Francisco Bay within the Presidio National Park, the new Crissy Field Center became one of the highest-rated LEEDap Platinum projects. This multi-use center was conceived, installed, and ready to occupy in under nine months. This facility included classrooms, a science lab, a highly-rated cafe, solar power, and wind power. It provides a nationally recognized model of sustainability, healthy education, and environmental stewardship.
