Maclay Architects, along with Scott Simons Architects of Portland, Maine, have been selected to design a new 8,400 square foot net-zero, LEED Platinum educational center for the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, Maine. The facility will include offices and classroom spaces, and offers connections to the surrounding gardens and outdoor classrooms. Schematic design is underway, and design completion is expected by fall 2010, with construction to follow.
