Goals for site master planning, designed by The Kestrel Design Group, Inc., include creating a museum that will:
• Integrate outdoor and indoor experiences
• Connect people and cultures to Minnesota’s diverse ecological biomes
• Combine learning styles of art, science, and nature centers
• Encourage discovery and repeat visitation
• Demonstrate sustainable, eco-friendly and high performance design
The green roof will provide an example of a Minnesota bedrock bluff prairie community and help maximize the above goals.
