The Baltimore City Department of Public Works began work this week to add much needed classroom space to the Carrie Murray Nature Center. Renovations to the one-story building will include construction of two additional classrooms, with entranceway, and the replacement of all existing windows and doors. The exterior wooden walls of the Center will be replaced with a more durable cement fiber siding.
Work also includes new roofing, as well as a new garage, driveway and parking pad.
The J.A.K Construction Company and Cole Roofing Company will do this work. The newly expanded Carrie Murray Nature Center will be complete in August 2000. The Center offers outdoor education classes along with environmental and nature studies, animal and insect exhibits. It is also a bird of prey rehabilitation center and home for permanently injured birds of prey.
