The Capitol Education Center is the newest attraction for guests to visit on the Kentucky State Capitol Campus.
Originally used as a space to house heating and cooling equipment, the building has been completely repurposed and “recycled” as a modern learning facility for students and all visitors.
The Center is outfitted with a range of interactive and multimedia exhibits to educate visitors about sustainability, geography, tourism and government in Kentucky.The building also features a “green” design that incorporates solar panels, a wind turbine, recycled denim insulation and a rooftop garden. Guests are welcome to sit, relax and eat lunch at the Center while visiting.
