Rehabilitate Chaco Visitor Center

Chaco Culture National Historical Park » Rehabilitate Chaco Visitor Center » Document List

The National Park Service is proposing to completely rehabilitate and renovate the park's only visitor center/headquarters building. The existing visitor center was constructed in 1957 and was last remodeled in 1978. The purpose of this environmental assessment is to examine the environmental impacts associated with the proposal. The rehabilitated structure would essentially be a replacement in kind of the existing visitor center, retaining its building footprint and approximate square footage, but incorporating a number of needed structural and functional improvements.

The specific purposes of the visitor center rehabilitation and renovation proposal are: 1) to protect public and employee health, safety, and welfare; 2) to improve the existing visitor center's operational efficiency and environmental sustainability; 3) to accomplish needed facility improvements in an efficient manner, and at an appropriate value; and 4) to afford the park's many and diverse visitors suitable opportunities to learn about, experience, and enjoy the park's significant resources.
