Mount Cuba Center site consists of over 1,000 acres that include formal and naturalistic gardens, and a historic house set in rural Pennsylvania. The 2018 master plan’s objective to transition from a private estate to a public garden included an initial phase to improve the centers operational infrastructure. This work included upgrades to the existing facilities and the construction of a new greenhouse and head house to replace the outdated structures. The architects designed and implemented a project with low-embodied carbon as part of the strategy to achieve a net-zero facility that will support mount Cuba’s evolving horticulture program for generations to come.
CVM provided structural engineering for the new head house, parking canopy, and the foundation infrastructure for the new greenhouse.
