Designed for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Service, this facility serves as a Discovery Center showcasing the mission and mystery of the Sanctuary. A 10,000 square foot Exhibit Area tells the story of the delicate ecosystem of the Coral Reefs along the Florida Keys.

In addition to the Discovery Center, the facility houses the Lower Keys Administrative Offices and maintenance facilities and is home to the Sanctuary fleet. The property is located on the old submarine harbor on the eastern tip of Key West and the building’s arrangement allows for the future development of outdoor exhibit spaces which can overlook the harbor and refuge.
