The Wilkerson Center at Redbud tells the story of the Colorado River that flows through the heart of Texas and touches the lives of more than 1 million people. The education center is open to the public to learn about the river and why it’s important to conserve and protect it as our water supply.

Redbud Center is the energy- and water-efficient building where LCRA employees manage the river. Redbud Center received a gold rating from the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™. The building also received a Four-Star rating from the Austin Energy Green Building™ program. View a slideshow of Redbud Center’s green features.
