The objectives of this feasibility study are to evaluate and
plan for a new research building at the North Carolina
Botanical Garden (NCBG). Founded in 1905, the Herbarium
houses about 800,000 plant specimens. The proposed
programming is to house the Herbarium's personnel,
research, and teaching activities, large museum collection;
providing research, office, and seed processing and space
for the NCBG Southeast Regional Seed Bank, public use of a
substantial library of botany-related books and other
materials; and providing classrooms and other public access
areas for programming and teaching related to plant
systematics and plant conservation. The building should be
sited and designed to be visually compatible with the James
and Delight Allen Education Center and to have similar LEED
building sustainability features. | |
