Eco-Focused Coastal Education

Coastal Education Center

ARC is creating the Coastal Education Center at one of the region's most frequented seashores. It is being conceived of as an eco-focused center for education about the challenges facing the changing shoreline. The project targets Net Zero and off-grid capabilities while exploring off-site unitized construction. Designed with sensitivity to shifting dunes, it reclaims 5,000 SF of parking into a natural ecosystem. Bird-safe design principles influence the aesthetics. The center addresses climate change challenges and may relocate by 2070 due to rising sea levels.
