Special Project Videos
Janury 17, 2017A narrative of the collaboration between the Hitchcock Center for the Environment, designLAB architects, Wright Builders, EnnisArt, and Prosoco to create our new Living Building. Thanks to Daniel De Wit for the video.
October 1, 2016: Take a look inside a WISY Vortex screen! This screen (labelled filter in our living building) is part of the first flush rainwater capture system located in our Ecotone. The screen helps to remove dust, pollen, and anything that falls on our roof and remove it from the water system prior to storage in our reservoir. Thanks to Chris Chamberland of Berkshire Design Group for the video.
August 1, 2016: EnnisArt completed an artistic rendering of the Connecticut River watershed and primary tributaries. The work is stained into the concrete floor in the Ecotone, the hall that holds our rainwater exhibit. We invite you to view a timelapse of this installation.
