The Friends of the Mines of
Spain and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources are proud to announce
its plans to build a 6350 square foot addition to the EB Lyons Interpretive
Center. With previous growth in program numbers and attendance a need
for the addition has been recognized. The two story addition will add
much needed space for conferences, programs, dinner, meetings and office
space on the upper level and nature labs and storage on the lower level.
The Durant Group of Dubuque has designed the addition to complement the
current structure. The project has received the approval of the Iowa Department
of Natural Resources and the City of Dubuque's Park and Recreation Department.
