CamCo Environmental Division Relocates to Cherry Hill

The office, previously in Collingswood, moved to the new environmental center in Cherry Hill to bring employees that perform similar job duties closer together.

If you’re looking for the Camden County Division of Environmental Affairs, don’t take a stroll by Newton Lake in Collingswood anymore.

The division, which had been based out of a building at Newton Lake along Newton Lake Drive, relocated this week to Cherry Hill. The division’s phone number—856-858-5241—remains the same.

The county freeholder board will continue to maintain the now-vacant Collingswood building while freeholders “assess the future of the current building and make a decision on how to utilize going forward,” a county spokesman said.

Workers moved to the Cherry Hill location to consolidate employees who perform similar jobs under one roof. The Division of Environmental Affairs is in the county’s new environmental center, at 1301 Park Blvd. in Cherry Hill.

The environmental center, also come to Camden County Master Gardener’s Program and the 4-H, was built using green building techniques.

“The building uses a high-performance, natural gas powered mechanical system and features interior spaces that are flooded with daylight by skylights and windows,” Freeholder Jeffrey Nash, liaison to the Division of Environmental Affairs, said in a statement. “Rainwater is collected from the roof of the park building, and is stored in a 1,000-gallon cistern that is used for landscape watering.”

The building also features a vegetated roof, solar hot water panels and recycled materials.
