Susan T Rodriguez | Architecture • Design and GO Logic of Belfast, Maine have been selected by the College of the Atlantic to design the new Center for Human Ecology on their oceanfront campus on Mount Desert Island in Bar Harbor, Maine.

The new Center for Human Ecology at the College of the Atlantic presents a unique opportunity to create College of the Atlantic’s first purpose-built academic building, one that celebrates the college’s history of environmental leadership and embodies its unique curricular mission in its architecture, landscape, and its precedent-setting building performance and sustainability. The project holds great promise to create a new threshold to the campus, while strengthening and renewing its connections to Frenchman Bay, Acadia National Park, and the surrounding Mount Desert Island community. Capturing the essence of the project as a unique intersection of history, place, campus culture, ecology, and academic inquiry will be fundamental to developing a vision for the project as a vital new academic center, gateway to the campus, and a distinctly visible symbol of the college and its mission.
