SPR-BROOH NATURE CE M1'iER
Constructed mostly with funds and grant monies from the Metropolitan Council,
Springbrook Nature Center Foundation, and with assistance of volunteer labor, the
new interpretive center incorporates energy efficiency with functionality. Although
earth sheltering is the most obvious indication, several other design features reflect
�u energy considerations. A translucent roofing material covering the out-of-ground
M,. portion reduces the need for artificial light. A southern orientation provides passive
solar heat during the cold months,while an electronic shuttering system reduces loss of
---- ) I - heat during winter nights.
Opportunities to examine these features will be provided during building tours sched-
uled as part of the Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday,October 10, 1981.
Springbrook Nature Center is located 1/2 mile west of Northtown Shopping Center on
85th Avenue Northeast.

The above descriptions illustrate that Springbrook Nature Center has much to offer
the citizens of Fridley.The opening of the earth sheltered interpretive center will greatly
increase your opportunity to enjoy this richly diverse city park.
Polliwog watchers can utilize the center's lab/classroom to better explore water
creatures.A resource library will enable plant and animal observers and report writers
to further investigate their chosen subjects. Naturalist conducted programs for
families,civic,private, and school groups will have use of auditorium facilities.
Walk-in visitors can gain a greater understanding of nature in Fridley through
artifacts and local small wild life displayed in the exhibit area.First hand observations
will be possible of animals visiting the wild life feeding stations located outside the EXTERIOR—LOOKING NORTH
