The Necedah National Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center opened its doors to the public on April 30, 2010. The Samuels Group Environments had the opportunity to begin working with the Refuge Staff and the National Fish & Wildlife Service in early 2010 on the interior furnishings of the facility. The scope of furniture ranged from private offices & open collaborative spaces, guest & lounge spaces, storage & filing, to training & conference rooms. A key element of all products selected their level of sustainability, offering Greenguard™ Certification and contributing to LEED points, providing for the most eco-friendly options for the facility.

As noted by the Wildlife Refuge, “the 12,000 square foot facility was designed with green technology while maximizing energy saving needs and include photovoltaic solar panels, geothermal wells, and was built using environmentally friendly, natural materials including fiber cement siding, metal roof, and marmoleum flooring. The new facility will enhance awareness and connection to wildlife and wild places. The Center will generate an economic boost for Juneau County and surrounding areas.”

This is truly a state of the art facility, offering hands-on learning for all ages. It is a hidden gem located in central Wisconsin of which Environments is thrilled to have been a part of.
