About this event
Amherst Neighbors is pleased to announce that its members are invited to a tour of the multiple award-winning building that is home to the Hitchcock Center for the Environment, located at 845 West Street, in Amherst. The Hitchcock Center for the Environment is home to the 23rd Certified Living Building in the world and the 4th in Massachusetts. The net zero energy building harvests and recycles its own water, uses composting toilets, and was constructed with responsibly sourced, nontoxic materials. It is a powerful teaching tool that supports a new approach to achieving environmental literacy in the 21st century. Please join us for the opportunity to learn about this unique building which is one of Amherst’s gems.
Registration is required for this in-person event.
