U.S. Land Port of Entry in Calais, ME

As part of the federal Design Excellence program, the United States General Services Administration awarded Robert Siegel Architects the commission to design a new U.S. Commercial Port of Entry & Border Station in Calais, Maine.  The design creates a visual “open door” while providing a highly secure facility capable of handling 3,300,000 cars and trucks per year.  The new facility is designed to create a visible testament to the dignity and strength of our Federal Government and to embody the spirit of the United States as welcoming and secure, now and in the future.

This project has been awarded the following:

  • GSA Project Management Award, 2011
