 Original plans called for a $ 5 million headquarters and wildlife visitor ’ s center . Refuge headquarters were previously in old farm buildings to the west on Roy Rogers Road . The new building was awarded honorable mention by the Department of the Interior in its 2008 Environmental Achievement Awards . It was designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards at the silver level , but did not receive certification from the United States Green Building Council . The administration building and visitor structures were constructed by Wade Perrow Construction .
