The Nature Conservancy is seeking to renovate the lobby of its world headquarters in Ballston, Virginia in order to incorporate a new collection of photographs and interpretive materials. At the heart of this project is a refurbished lobby and new gallery that will enrich the visitor’s experience and allow the Conservancy to communicate its mission to the public. The project’s strategy is to build an interpretative experience around the nature flow of people entering the build. Visitors and staff travel from the Metro, through the lobby and gallery and ultimately to a ͞prairie͟ garden at the second level. Other improvements include new conference areas and café.
