CEC and DuPont will seek to bring representatives of industry and government to the space. More corporate partners are being sought. Part of the concept is for a model environmental park space behind the building in Levy Park. Upper Kirby District has designated a fund raiser for the project. CEC is working with Urban Harvest to help make the park become a model environmental facility, with space for community gardens, orchards, and wildlife, as well as family areas for recreation and strolling.
Space is still available for offices.
