Chesapeake Conservancy Headquarters

​

The Earl Conservation Center at Quiet Waters Park is the future home of the Chesapeake Conservancy and like-minded environmental organizations—an integrated, mission-driven building and landscape that serves as both a workplace and a public destination. Rooted in the Conservancy’s mission to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay watershed, the project is a physical embodiment of environmental stewardship, education, and collaboration.


The project was cancelled after completion of Construction Documents.
