Always enjoyable to visit with our friends and partners from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation at The Brock Environmental Center, located at Pleasure House Point in Virginia Beach. Pictured with Travis Malone, Dean of the VWU Batten Honors College, Chris Moore, CBF Senior Regional Ecosystem Scientist, and Christy Everett, CBF Hampton Roads Director. We discussed collaborative opportunities for our scholars from the Batten Honors College and toured the new Macon and Joan Brock Classroom addition. The Brock Center is an innovative example of an environmentally sensitive and smart building—among the first in the nation to embrace energy and water independence—and advances CBF’s efforts to defend one of the nation’s most valuable and threatened natural resources, the Chesapeake Bay. We are pictured at the Chesapeake Bay Living Wall.
