Rio Salado Audubon Center
Phoenix, AZ
Project Description

The Rio Salado Audubon Center is an 8,000sf Interpretive Center/Nature Center developed by the National Audubon Society in partnership with the City of Phoenix. The center will serve as an icon and gateway for the $100M Rio Salado Habitat Restoration that was completed on a nine mile section of the Salt River. The Rio Salado Audubon Center is strategically located in the multi-cultural heart of the city providing nature-based education in an under-served part of the community. The primary theme of the Audubon Center will be to "tell the story of the river." The primary audience is elementary children and their families for education programs. Additional audiences include youth groups, college/university students, and tourists focusing on eco-tourism and birding.
