New Visitors Center

Caterpillar’s new visitor center showcases the company’s worldwide display of construction equipment. It also features exhibits, simulators, a 62-seat theater (inside a 24-foot tall Cat 797 mining truck), offices and a merchandise center.

The LEED Gold facility features solar panels that supply up to 75 of its energy, mechanical and electrical systems that use 35 percent less energy than a similar-sized building and location, and rain water retention and irrigation system that reduces potable water usage by 85 percent.
