Located in the industrial area of Bayview Hunters Point, the EcoCenter at Heron’s Head Park is the first environmental education facility in southeast San Francisco and the city’s first 100 percent “off-the-grid” building. Featuring an on-site wastewater treatment system, rainwater storage, a living roof, an off-grid solar array, and a range of environmentally-friendly land management solutions, the EcoCenter stands as a working model of the potential of sustainable design. The tour will highlight how green systems are used as an educational tool for Literacy for Environmental Justice’s youth programming and how environmental justice issues in Bayview Hunters Point informed the design and decision-making of this community resource.
Tour led by Tracy Zhu of Literacy for Environmental Justice (LEJ), Toby Long, AIA of Toby Long Design and other key members of the design, contracting and installation teams.
