Join us for a free guided tour of the new 7,200-square-foot interim home for the Crissy Field Center at East Beach on Crissy Field. The high performance modular facility, currently on track for LEED Gold certification, will serve not only as a hub of sustainability programming in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, but also as a convening spot and resource for local community organizations, visiting diplomats, politicians, and educational leaders on both national and international fronts. This is your opportunity to see the building's green technologies in action. Some features include:
- Exterior panels made from old-growth redwood salvaged from the historic Cal Park Hill Railway Tunnel, paired with EcoClad—a bio-composite material engineered from post-consumer paper/wood fiber and bamboo fiber
- InterfaceFlor carpet tiles made with 70 percent recycled content
- Energy-efficient lighting systems with daylight sensors and occupancy controls by Peerless Lighting
- A 2,500-gallon rainwater catchment tank to provide enough water to cover more than half the Center's annual toilet flushing needs
- Plans for a solar-thermal heating system that can generate hot water for all the snack bar operations
Site tours are offered on Fridays at 4 pm from February 12th through March 26th and switch to once a month on the first Friday of the month after that. Tours are approximately 30 minutes long. Register today! Space is limited to 15 people per tour.
