provided site design services for the reconstruction
of the Visitor Center Parking Lot in Hulls Cove and
the new Sand Beach Fee Station complex. The redesign
of Visitor Center parking area involved increasing the
number of parking spaces (100 additional), improving
the approach, arrival, and overall vehicle circulation
within the existing paved footprint. A new entry kiosk
was developed to provide visitor information at the
parking lot level. A new transit stop for the Island
Explorer bus was develop in conjunction with expanded
bus and RV queuing areas. The site design for the fee
station involved locating a new office and fee collection
kiosks within the footprint of the existing disturbed
area. In both projects, planting of native low maintenance
vegetation was used to define and manage vehicle circulation.
Roc Caivano Architects of Bar Harbor provided architectural
design services for the kiosks and pavilions in both
projects.
