Located on the Nature Center's 40-acre Model Farm, the Education Building can accommodate a variety of business seminars, classes, banquets, receptions, or other special functions. The two-story building features the Aerie Room, which overlooks a boardwalk and scenic pond, where at any time you might see ducks, egrets or deer. Other features include a roomy foyer, kitchen facilities and two classrooms. Each classroom has a maximum capacity between 30 to 45 people, depending upon use.
The Aerie can accommodate up to 120 people with theater-style seating, up to 96 people with banquet-style seating, and has a reception capacity of 120. The Education Building kitchen is equipped with two residential-style refrigerators, a stove, oven and microwave. Should you decide to provide your own food service, the kitchen is equipped to meet a caterer's needs; however, the kitchen is not designed for cooking by rental parties.
