From the website:

In the two-story structure of brick, glass and steel, visitors will discover a 75-foot observation tower, 7,000 square feet of interactive exhibits, Erie Insurance orientation theater, Dr. Thomas Research Wing, the Presque Isle Nature Shop, the Sunset Cafe and the Big Green Screen (a 175-seat, large-format theater, the first of its kind in the Pennsylvania State Park system).

The architects and contractors used "green" technology in the design and construction of this center, which is also a first in the PA State Park system. To date over 500,000 individuals have enjoyed this 65,000 square feet state-of-the-art LEED green designed facility.

Some of the green features that were incorporated into the buildings design are the use of rapidly renewable resources such as cork, linoleum and wheatboard, wind generated electricity and a system for capturing rain water from specially designed roofing material
