Seattle Parks and Recreation, University of Washington Botanic Gardens and the Arboretum Foundation host meeting for Environmental Education Center Pre-Design Study

The Washington Park Arboretum partners invite the community to learn about the Environmental Education Center Pre-Design Study at an Open House on Wednesday, December 5, 2018 from 6:30 – 8 p.m. at the Graham Visitors Center, 2300 Arboretum Drive E. Please join us to learn about the proposed project for the Washington Park Arboretum and provide input on three concept designs.

This new facility will allow the current youth and adult education programs to provide more robust educational experiences and meet the growing demands of the current programs. The desired goal as stated in the Arboretum Master Plan is to serve 20,000 children and adults annually from diverse communities across the region. In early 2018, Seattle Parks and Recreation, University of Washington Botanic Gardens and the Arboretum Foundation contracted with Mithun to complete a pre-design study for the proposed Environmental Education Center.
