Going green for the kids


By 2013, Prince George's County Maryland will be home to the eco-friendly National Children's Museum.


Commissioning the Pelli Clarke Pelli architectural firm, the musem will be a 150,000 square foot space and will include "a wind turbine that will supply the building with energy, a sun reflector on the roof to reduce the use of artificial light and a roof system that will absorb rainwater and improve insulation."


The institution will boast works from Roto Studio, Amaze Design and AldrichPears that highlight the importance of the environment and healthy play.
