Future Plans

Future plans for the SMNHC as of 2014.

Future Plans

A major redesign of the entire facility, in which the old barracks would be razed and new buildings erected is in the planning stages; the project will be financed by $2.5 million from a 2010 school bond.  The new facility would permit an increase in professional training opportunities for APS teachers in ecology and related sciences and an expanded community outreach. The vision is of a Center with the capability to provide educational opportunities to a wider range of  individuals, including students at all grade levels, citizens and scientists; leading ultimately to an ecologically literate citizenry.
