The Philip Merrill Environmental Center is the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF). In design, construction, and operation, the center — which serves as CBF's headquarters — reflects our mission to protect and restore the Bay. CBF built the Merrill Center on a cradle-to-cradle philosophy. All materials are made of recycled materials or created through processes that don't damage the environment. The Merrill Center is the first building to receive the U.S. Green Building Council's Platinum rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
