Robert Juris & Associates was brought on by the Olympia Fields & Homewood-Flossmoor Park Districts to design this new two-story Discovery Center to sit on the original foot print of the property’s old stable. This new building was needed to provide the community with more available space for program and rental needs. The major purpose for this center is to house environmental hands-on technology to offer students and families a unique experience in researching native flora, fauna and wildlife at Irons Oaks. This facility also provides much-needed programming space for Environmental Education, Community, and Adventure Center programs.
