As the first building to be built in the 311 acre park, the pavilion had to be symbolic of the regional environment and prominently display sustainable building practices that not only are functional but educational to the general public. The massive limestone walls contrast nicely with the lightly suspended metal roof, which covers an outdoor classroom, park offices and public restrooms, while also providing electricity for the facility with the help of solar photovoltaic panels. Other sustainable features include a rainwater collection system, drought tolerant, native landscaping, and a passive cooling building orientation.
