  Killens Pond Nature Center is a LEED Silver-certified event facility set within Killens Pond State Park in Kent County, Delaware. Designed by GWWO Architects and recognized with AIA Delaware and AIA Baltimore design awards, the building sits at the transition between hardwood forest and a 75-acre pond — hovering at the water's edge and connecting interior spaces to the surrounding landscape through wide expanses of glass. The two-level center offers distinct gathering environments suited to meetings and celebrations alike. The upper level meeting room overlooks Killens Pond and opens onto an observation deck, while the lower level leads directly to a small amphitheater at the pond's edge. A separate exhibit area features a live collection of native reptiles and amphibians, adding an educational dimension uncommon in typical event venues. The building's sustainable design is itself a conversation piece: a visible rainwater recovery cistern, geothermal heating and cooling, and on-site wastewater treatment reflect the center's commitment to the landscape it inhabits. Audio/visual equipment is available on-site, and the facility is fully accessible. Full Nature Center rentals (evenings only) accommodate up to 150 guests.

Designed by Delaware architect Thomas Dixon in the Second Empire style, the original building served as the headquarters of the Grand Lodge of the Masons and opened with over seventy performances its first season.

Today the organization operates three distinct performance venues: the historic Copeland Hall (1,140 seats), The Baby Grand (305 seats), and The Playhouse on Rodney Square (1,252 seats), the oldest continuously operating legitimate theater in the country. Together they present more than 80 shows annually and welcome over 120,000 visitors to downtown Wilmington each year, hosting resident companies including the Delaware Symphony, Opera Delaware, and First State Ballet Theatre. For private events and corporate gatherings, the organization offers eight rental spaces ranging from the intimate Ninth Muse (60 standing) to the grand Copeland Hall stage and lobby.
