The Brock Environmental Center, the tenth building in the world to achieve full Living Building Challenge certification, is an extraordinary building in an ecologically significant setting. Located on a peninsula near the southern shores of The Chesapeake Bay, the building houses the staff and the outdoor environmental education programs of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Built on a legacy of green buildings, including the award-winning Philip Merrill Center, the Brock Environmental Center sets a new standard for sustainable, resilient design by blending cutting-edge technologies with nature-inspired forms, patterns, and processes.
In a thorough and cohesive narrative, author Juliet Grable weaves together the many strands of the building’s journey, from initial concept and design decisions to its completion and award-winning recognitions. The story of the building’s many sustainable and restorative features includes the project’s precedent-setting rainwater treatment system.
Another important publication in the Living Building Challenge Series, the book is part engaging narrative and part practical guide, informed with compelling stories including the voices of many of the project’s key players – design professionals, engineers, builders, consultants, and CBF staff. Illustrated with beautiful photographs and instructive diagrams, Brock Environmental Center for a Living Chesapeake serves as an inspiration for those who hold the vision of Living Buildings as the model for our future built environment.
