BEARTOOTH NATURE CENTER MOVE UPDATE

 

The BNC has partnered with CTA Architects Engineers of Billings to support our 5-year feasibility and master planning effort. Eirik Heikes, ASLA with CTA Architects Engineers has built a team consisting of Architects, Land Planners, Engineers and Environmental Specialists to work alongside Dan Hunt from Ohio’s Columbus Zoo in assisting the BNC’s Steering Committee. 

 

The CTA team will provide the initial planning and feasibility studies to construct the Master Plan for relocation.  In keeping with the core values of the BNC, CTA will be focusing on sustainable design elements that can be incorporated into the Master Plan.  The team plans to be working closely with Janice Brown of the Yellowstone Business Partnership and will be considering LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System ™ Certification as part of its planning efforts.  The BNC Master Plan will assist the Steering Committee and grant writers during their capital campaign raising funds from public and private donations.
