About the Stanley Center
Here's some details:
The Stanley Center is a private foundation based in Muscatine, Iowa, with projects and partnerships that span the globe from tackling climate change to mass violence and atrocity prevention. As they considered a new home for their organization, they thought about how to put their core values into action in the buildings design. To align with those values, their architect introduced them to the Living Building Challenge, the highest standard for sustainable construction.1
For decades, the former Musser public library building at 304 Iowa Avenue served residents as a hub of learning. The Stanley Center has invested more than $10 million in the community by acquiring, renovating, and transforming the space into one of the most environmentally-friendly and ecologically-sustainable buildings in the world to serve as their new home.2
