NORMAN SMITH EDUCATION CENTER

Overview:

Embarking on the mission to transform Chickatawbut Hill/Massachusetts Audubon Wildlife Center into a versatile multi-use event space, this project posed a dual challenge: honoring the rich native culture of the land while seamlessly integrating an educational center for the vibrant summer camp community.

The paramount objective was to tread lightly on the land, respecting its cultural and environmental tapestry. The previous temporary structure made way for a thoughtfully designed duo of buildings, forming an elegant "hook" shape. This innovative approach not only minimized the ecological footprint but also embraced the surrounding nature.
