Materials Used in NEXUS

There are 50 Tour of Materials signs positioned throughout NEXUS that provide in-depth information about the different products and processes that were used to construct NEXUS.  Listed below are the products used in our build-out. Visit NEXUS during open hours to learn more. Staff members are available to give you a brief (5-minute) orientation to the resources upon your arrival and to help you find what you are looking for.

Private tours can be tailored to reach audiences at all levels, including students of all ages, homeowners, and building professionals. We ask for a suggested donation on a sliding scale of $30-75 per group. Checks can be made payable to The Green Roundtable. We also accept cash and credit cards (processed through Paypal). To schedule a tour, please e-mail info@greenroundtable.org with 2-3 dates and times that will work for your group.
