Entry Description

The Metempsychosis Lab is an adaptive reuse project that takes over the existing Nature Center of Hunting Island, S.C. The old building served as a place for visitors to enter the pier and learn about the local flora and fauna. Now, the building expands not only over the same program, but adds a lab for scientists to research the impact climate change has on the island, a kayak storage area that is available for the scientists as well as visitors, and changes the way the visitors are educated.
