The firm led the design-build team for the Masonville Cove Environmental Education Center, a near-zero net energy environmental center on the banks of the Patapsco River. The building features passive solar heating, solar photovoltaics and solar hot water, advanced air sealing, and a ground source heat pump.[1]
