The Trinity River Audubon Center in Dallas was designed by Antoine Predock and BRW Architects. Construction began in 2002, and it was completed in 2008. The article calls it the first LEED-certified building built by the Dallas Parks and Recreation Department, and says the National Audubon Society is the current tenant. It names no style, and its client is not stated.
The center sits on 120 acres with five miles of nature trails. Features include a planted green roof, a rainwater collection system and recycled materials. Visitors find a butterfly garden, picnic areas, an event center and a natural history museum.
The site was a former illegal landfill called Deepwood. A federal court order by Judge Barefoot Sanders led to the center's creation. The article gives no hours or admission.
