The new 28,000 sf Environmental Science and Sustainability Center at Roper Mountain Science Center broke ground this fall in Greenville, SC. Designed by SKOLNICK in collaboration with Craig Gaulden Davis, the new facility, which will serve K-12 students, community organizations, families, educators, and the general public, will offer visitors an opportunity to explore local natural resources and to seek and implement solutions to environmental challenges.
