Asbury Woods Nature Center

摘要

In 2002, Schmidt Copeland Parker Stevens, Inc. was selected to serve as the lead architects and landscape architects for the improvements to Asbury Woods Nature Center. While the nature center was known as one of the premier environmental centers in northwestern Pennsylvania, it was operating out of a 70-year old cottage donated to the Millcreek Township School District by Dr. Otto Behrend, co-founder of the Hammermill Paper Company, in 1957. As a part of the master planning process performed by Schmidt Copeland Parker Stevens it was determined that the 2,000-square-foot cottage would need to be renovated, modernized and significantly enlarged to continue providing educational and recreational opportunities to the more than 130,000 visitors the center serves annually.
