San-Lee Nature Education Center

Overview


Lee County enlisted HH Architecture to design a new Nature Education Center after the original building burned down in December of 2014. Our design team worked with our team of consultants to design a new building that complimented the gorgeous surrounding site that is San-Lee Park.

With large windows and views overlooking the lake, the San-Lee Park Nature Education Center includes office space, a rentable multipurpose area, a classroom and small animal exhibitions. The exhibition space will allow visitors to learn about nature in the area and about the animals kept in the Nature Center.

The layout of this building is flexible and designed to support renovations for future space needs. Its materials allow for long term durability and ease of maintenance. Exterior overhangs protect the building from weather and solar exposure while the HVAC systems are simple and easy to maintain.
