A design concept charette was completed in January 2003 as a "community service" project by the US Green Building Council Board. Bob Berkebile, Kath Williams and Brett Potter facilitated the event and completed the final report as a gift to the Park. Founding members of USGBC including the USGBC CEO, Rick Fedrizzi, and his son, Nathan Fedrizzi, were active participants in the enthusiastic support group for the town of West Yellowstone, National Park Service, and the concessionaires in Yellowstone Park.
