ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, formerly the Lake Champlain Basin Science Center, has been renamed as well as rebuilt. The new name reflects the Ecology, Culture, History and Opportunity of the Lake Champlain Basin - the core mission of the new lake aquarium, science center, and community resource - as well as recognizing Senator Patrick Leahy for his longstanding commitment to this project and the stewardship of Lake Champlain and its watershed.
The Leahy Center is home to the:
*ECHO lake aquarium and science center
*Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory as a Waterfront location of the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources of the University of Vermont
*Lake Champlain Basin Program Resource Room
*LakeNet international lake conservation exchange in coordination with Saint Michael's College
