Eagle County Eco Build FundWalking Mountains Science Center’s new campus has served thousands of school children, families and adults in its first year of operations. This innovative Science Center was made possible due to the generosity of private and public support throughout the state of Colorado. Eagle County contributed a total of $200,000 from the Eco Build Fund towards renewable energy systems, a high performance building envelope, and other building features that exceed code for commercial construction. The Science Center is currently on track to receive LEED Platinum certification.
