Springbrook Prairie Pavilion features a central plaza integrated into the design that will add a new retail lifestyle experience, including use for events, programs and other gatherings.

Furthermore, Springbrook Prairie Pavilion is the first development in DuPage County which will seek LEED Silver Certification as recognized by the U. S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
"We are pleased that quality retailers and services providers like Home Goods, Road Runner Sports, Relax the Back and Charles Ifergan have made a commitment to Springbrook Prairie Pavilion. All of these fine firms are ideal for Springbrook Prairie which will be more than just another typical suburban center," said Bond. "It will be different in terms of form and function featuring a design that assures the center will blend almost seamlessly into the surrounding natural environs. In addition, there are many 'sustainable' features that contribute to the preservation of the environment."
