THE MUSEUM
HOME
The Greening of the Notebaert Nature Museum represents a commitment
to the environment—and environmental education—that now
informs all that the museum undertakes.
By assuming the mantle of the premier museum focused on the Midwestern
environment, the Notebaert declares the importance of Green Design,
and becomes an exemplar as well as an advocate.

2. Conservation
Design Forum
Conservation Design Forum was first retained by the Peggy Notebaert
Nature Museum to design a green roof demonstration garden for a 2,400
square foot portion of its roof. The green roof was designed to display
a range of green roof technology that features wetland, extensive,
semi-intensive, and intensive systems. This roof was the prelude to
the much larger gardens that first bloomed in spring 2004.
