Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose/Scope: The project provides for renovation of a pre-existing 2000 square foot meeting space and construction of a 21,650 SF new, two-story, detached facility to replace the existing science center. Includes, architectural, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, security, fire protection, fire alarm and site improvements costs, including site access, parking, sidewalks, and landscape.
Activities to be performed:
Project Summary (I) Existing space (15,435 SF)
(II) New and renovated building space (23,650 SF)
(III) Use / occupancy of each space (general program pillars) as follows:
- Marine Mammal Response, Rescue & Rehabilitation: 1,870 SF
- Nature Based Early Learner Center: 2,266 SF
- Teaching Laboratory: 966 SF
- Contemporary Museum/ Community Space: 12,452 SF
- Cultural History/ Human Use: 1,960 SF
- Sustainable Operations & Resilient Site: 4,136 SF
(IV) Site is located within Odiorne Point State Park. Project boundary is around 3.8 acres.
(V) There is no (non-building) equipment under the award.
Expected outcomes: The overall objective for this capital project is to provide the state of New Hampshire and its regional coastal partners in southern Maine and northern Massachusetts, with an updated environmental science institution.
Intended beneficiaries: From a contemporary museum setting, we will be able to engage upwards of 150,000 visitors each year with programs and exhibits that weave natural history, environmental challenges, historic, present, and future human uses, with conservation measures and adaptive strategies targeting the preservation of the coastal character and natural resources of the region. The facility will be a public model for sea level rise resilient planning and construction, environmentally sustainable museum operations, and a community focal point for environmental education and conservation.
Subrecipient activities: None.
