The Wister Center has been an unfolding story for many years. This fall the Scott Arboretum is excited to open the doors to this new facility. Dan Russoniello, AIA, LEED AP and partner of Archer & Buchanan Architecture, Ltd., has been an integral part of this project from the beginning. Dan will illustrate the original concept of the Wister Center and how it has become an important symbol of sustainability and good citizenship for the Scott Arboretum. He will delve into the sustainable design strategies used and how they work towards achieving a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. Join us to learn about and tour this exciting new building!
