Facilities

In June 2015, we took ownership of the former facilities of the Canaan Valley Institute and established the Davis Campus. The Research and Education Center was constructed as a Silver LEED-certified facility by the US Green Building Council and features many environmentally-friendly features including a living roof, a microturbine generator, and an artificial wetland.

Research and Education Center

All the rooms in our Center are named after rivers, creeks, and streams in and around our Tucker County home.

Conference Hall (Yellow Creek, Weimer Run, and Beaver Creek)

150-person seating capacity, divisible into three smaller sections with 50-person seating capacities each. Yellow Creek has a dropdown screen, projector, and wireless microphones capable of reaching the entire hall if needed. Interested in hosting your next event with us?
