About this Project

The Elizabeth Mary Wolf Environmental Learning Center will enrich the west end of the Arboretum as a dynamic hub for people and programs. Its main feature will be a spacious multi-purpose room designed with open flow to the Arboretum Teaching Nursery courtyard. This indoor-outdoor facility will serve as a public program space, a classroom for visitor and volunteer events, and a program staging area for students in the Arboretum and Public Garden’s innovative environmental leadership program, Learning by Leading™️. In addition, the center will provide offices, a kitchenette and bathrooms for students, staff, volunteers and event participants.
