SUSTAINABLE MARINE LABORATORY CAMPUS

The project works to solve an environmental issue which exists across the US Virgin Islands. Failing septic and sewage systems have polluted the beaches, water, and surrounding coral reef and caused irreparable damage. Implementing a landscape system which collects, cleans, and reuses contaminated groundwater through bio-remediation processes creates a self-sustaining system reproducible at many scales. A series of open-aired bars contain marine program and emphasize the connection between interior and exterior; research areas and research specimens.
