The National Great Rivers Research & Education Center's grand opening is scheduled for October 26th.  The building represents a collaborative effort between federal, state,  &local;government as well as private business.  The building itself is LEED Platinum and sits on the banks of the Mississippi River.  I'm writing b/c my firm is handling the installation of the carbon neutral landscapes around and on top of the facility (green roof).

It's a great project within 30 minutes of the city that deserves recognition!
