The Gessner Center
Our Future Kemah Home: Connecting Our Community to the Heart of Galveston Bay.
The Galveston Bay Foundation has a once in a lifetime opportunity to create a “Living Building” headquarters on the Bay that will help connect people directly to the heart of the Galveston Bay. Our new location in Kemah will serve as a destination where visitors of all ages can experience the wonder and awe of the Bay and learn about the rich diversity of Gulf Coast plants and wildlife, conservation, and science.
Building Our Future
But we still need your help.
We are in the final stretch of our campaign to finish The Gessner Center, Galveston Bay Foundation’s new state-of-the-art headquarters and education building. The Center will be a model for energy efficiency and water conservation and will contain an array of program spaces, including classrooms, meeting rooms, event space, and a lab equipped for water analysis and other research.
The Gessner Center will make it possible for Galveston Bay Foundation to do more than ever to preserve and enhance Galveston Bay as a healthy and productive place for generations to come.
