Teatown Lake Reservation, the 1,000-acre nonprofit nature preserve and environmental education center located in Ossining, NY since 1963, brought together local leaders and the community recently for a groundbreaking of its 22,000-square-foot, $26-million campus transformation. Construction is expected to take 12 to 16 months.
In partnership with the award-winning nARCHITECTS and landscape architect Starr Whitehouse, Teatown’s project will entail constructing a new 5,400-square-foot Education Center that will feature teaching and education spaces in its interior, exterior deck, and green roof; renovating the existing Nature Center; and creating an accessible and ecologically enhanced pedestrian campus with reconfigured access and operations.
“For more than 60 years, Teatown has been one of the Hudson Valley’s most cherished community resources,” said Kevin Carter, Teatown’s executive director. “This project ensures we can continue to inspire future generations of environmental stewards while creating a more accessible, welcoming campus for everyone.”
