Briefly

The new Coastal Research Center, strategically positioned along the Parker River, exemplifies sustainable architecture while serving as a hub for coastal studies and community engagement.
By integrating nature with educational spaces, the Center promotes experiential learning and fosters a deep connection to the surrounding marsh ecosystem for students and visitors alike.
The design's emphasis on environmental respect is evident in its placement, allowing access to the marsh without disrupting crucial ecosystems, showcasing a commitment to sustainability.
Innovative features such as bio-infiltration basins and a cantilevered boardwalk not only enhance learning but also display important principles of water management and ecological stewardship.
