The facility has a security monitoring system and ample lighting. A children's play area and picnic and pet areas are available, as is travel and traffic information.
It also includes innovative energy and water conservation systems that reduce short- and long-term maintenance and utility costs. It was designed to meet the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards. Brochure (PDF, 2.25 MB)
