Interior courtyard view: The solar panels on the roof of the Discovery Room are visible.
The Audubon Center at Debs Park runs entirely on solar power, including heating, cooling,
and electrical systems, computer equipment, and the fountain in the foreground.
The building is the first in the City of Los Angeles to function entirely off the electrical grid.
Interior courtyard view: All of the plants used on the Audubon Center site are California natives.
Pictured here are Western Sycamores. Restoration of native plants will be an ongoing project
throughout the 17 acres in Debs Park where the Audubon Center will conduct
nature education programs for children and families.
Many elements of the Audubon Center at Debs Park feature organic and/or recycled
materials. The reception desk is made with organic sunflower board.
