Hands-on educational learning laboratory

Cultivate Collective’s comprehensive sustainability initiatives, including its fossil fuel-free campus and the ability to generate all of its own energy needs through on-site solar — along with the extensive green space and orchards — will contribute to improved air quality in the neighborhood. The Environmental Education Learning Center will bring needed education and training on renewable energy.

With a convenient location only 1.5 miles from Midway Airport, this center for innovation will be accessible and available for visitors both near and far.
