The building was the first to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) "Platinum" rating from the United States Green Building Council. This recognition confirmed that the center was the most environmentally friendly building in the country at the time when it was built. Items used in the building include recycled materials, renewable resources, and passive and active solar power and use.〔 == Outdoor education program == Located at the Merrill Center is one of the foundation's one-day field programs for students and educators. This program makes use of an exceptional location between the shores of the Bay, the woods of Bay Ridge, the tidal marsh of Black Walnut Creek, and the local fields of tall native grasses to present a one-day, hands-on experience of the Bay ecosystem. Students may explore a variety of settings within the property, by foot or by water.
