Sustainability Treehouse at the Summit Bechtel

BNIM’s longstanding relationship with the Boy Scouts of America has resulted in facilities that embody their ideals, values, and tenets of resource efficiency including Camp Naish, the Scott Visitor Center, and the Sustainability Treehouse at the Summit Bechtel Family Scout Reserve. BNIM, as part of a team of nationally known designers and specialty consulting firms, worked with the Boy Scouts to design and construct the Sustainability Treehouse at the Summit Bechtel Family Scout Reserve in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. BNIM served as Executive Architect/Architect of Record in collaboration with Mithun on the Summit’s Sustainability Treehouse. The Sustainability Treehouse is a 5,805 SF living, interactive education center for the Scouts and visitors that features locally sourced timber, exhibits, and numerous sustainable technologies.
