Completed in June 2004, the Doyle Center is a “green” building built by The Trustees of Reservations at Doyle Community Park in Leominster.
Made possible by an anonymous $5 million donation, the Doyle Center is home to Trustees’ staff working in the areas of land conservation, ecology, resource protection and planning, environmental education, and mapping. The Doyle Center is also home to the Putnam Conservation Institute and the site of workshops and training seminars for conservationists around the state of Massachusetts.
The building was designed by HKT Architects of Somerville, specialists in mission-driven green and preservation design, with landscaping provided by Hines Wasser & Associates, a company known for its strong ecological designs for native managed landscapes.
The Doyle Center has been registered for gold certification with the U.S. Green Building Council through its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
