"The Audubon Center at Debs Park in Los Angeles is a cutting-edge green building that is a model of sustainable architecture. It was certified as the nation’s first LEED Platinum building from the U.S. Green Building Council, the nation’s leading authority on sustainable building practices."

"The design of the Audubon Center at Debs Park focuses on a number of key environmental issues that are at the heart of sustainable building, including renewable energy sources, water conservation, recycled building materials, and native landscaping. The 5,023 square-foot building is the first in the city of Los Angeles to be entirely powered by on-site solar systems – functioning entirely “off the grid.” The building also uses significantly less water than a conventional building of its size." —Audubon Center at Debs Park
