This Pro Tour explored the Schiller Coastal Studies Center, a scientific village that is the new home for Bowdoin’s Marine Science program. Situated on Orr’s Island, approximately 12 miles from Bowdoin’s main campus, the Center serves as a facility for retreats, dialogue, and collaboration among local and national leaders working to address critical issues of coastal and climate concern. In keeping with the small scale of a Maine camp, the new facilities are compact and sensitively sited within the island’s wooded landscape.
May's Pro Tour showcased a recently built hemplime-insulated home on Cape Cod. The project team was eager to share their collaborative approach for creating a home that met their client’s vision for a net-zero, storm-resistant, healthy materials home.
