The Center’s main facility, located in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, was completed in 2003. The 19,300 sq ft building is composed of an older (ca. 1874) now fully renovated building, formerly used as a summer home, and a new wing. The building is noted for its high energy performance and burns no fossil fuels onsite in the operation of the building. It uses about 25% the energy of a conventionally constructed building of its size, and is run, in part, by photovoltaics, solar hot water, and a ground source heat pump. Extensive details of meteorological conditions, energy use, and
building performance
(real-time and historic) are available at the WHRC web site. The building was designed by noted "green" architectural firm,
