University of North Carolina - Coastal Studies Institute, Research institute at Roanoke Island, North Carolina
The 52,000-square-foot research facility stands along the Croatan Sound, containing laboratories for marine archaeology, coastal processes, and estuarine ecology studies.
The Coastal Studies Institute was established in 2003 through a partnership between East Carolina University, UNC system universities, and Dare County.
The Science on the Sound lecture series brings together researchers and community members to discuss coastal topics affecting North Carolina's maritime counties.
The facility contains specialized research laboratories, classrooms, offices, and a marine service center for conducting coastal and environmental studies.
The elevated building design allows the natural landscape to flow beneath the structure while utilizing geothermal energy from Dare County well water.
