The Tyson Living Learning Center building team hired a local artist to create an aluminum rain flower rain chain. The chain directs rainwater from the lower roof into a rain barrel, which can be connected to a hose and used to water landscaping. Harvested rainwater from the south roof is collected and filtered to provide the building’s domestic water.
