Phase One of the master plan for Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation’s NEST Campus, the award-winning Pavilion and Outdoor Classroom, is now complete. Get ready for Phase II!
The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is being developed on the grounds of Fairhope’s first high school in a historic building that has sat vacant for over 10 years.
The Gulf Coast Center for Ecotourism and Sustainability is a campus of resilient green buildings set in a restored coastal forest with both indoor and outdoor learning spaces.
Watershed worked closely with Thompson Engineering and a steering committee made of community stakeholders to design Fairhope’s newest park, the 72-acre Flying Creek Nature Preserve. Construction is underway – mark your calendars to come hike next spring!
This adaptive reuse of an existing home into a Nature Center to serve the city’s newest park, Flying Creek Nature Preserve, is underway and will open to the public in 2025.
Watershed worked with Moffatt and Nichol to solicit extensive public feedback for the master plan of the Bayou La Batre City Docks, and to design a destination that supports economic and ecological revitalization.
In Progress:
Alabama’s first Living Building demonstrates not only resilience to the symptoms of climate change, but the possibility of a cure.
The Gulf State Park Lodge is now the first SITES® hospitality project in the world and the first certified FORTIFIED™ Commercial Building in the world, raising the bar globally for resilient structural design and land development projects.
