We stopped in when they were not open for visitors, but we still got a great feel for what this place is all about- from a sustainability standpoint, it’s such a great model for how we can change and adapt and take better care of the resources we have available. Our son passed away in 2015 and he was an architect who was very, very interested in projects like this. He believed in saving, conserving, reusing, and repurposing for the future. He would have loved this very cool experience.
