The Presentation Center is the welcome center and dining room
for an interfaith retreat and conference center sponsored by the
Sisters of Presentation, a Catholic religious community. The 10,000-square-foot
center features a bookstore, reception area, environmental education
area and a kitchen and dining facility which can serve 200 people.
In addition to the construction, major site work included demolition
of existing foundations, re-routing of site roads and landscaping.
The building is LEED-certified by the United States Green Building
Council. Sustainable building materials and equipment include
photovoltaic panels mounted on the roof of the large dining room,
radiant heat through in-slab water piping, recycled content building
products, straw bale insulation and FSC-certified lumber and finishings.
