The $26 million, 150,000-square-foot facility includes a nearly 3-acre rooftop. The building was designed with many energy-efficient features, including a 4,000-gallon rain barrel that captures rain from the roof. The captured water is then reused in Urbandale’s parks to water flowers, shrubs and trees. A short presentation begins at 10:30 a.m. and will be followed by guided tours of the facility, a big truck exhibit, light refreshments and activities for families and kids. The public is invited to attend the free event.
