Sand beach site plan Bus shelters Bus pavilion Parking lot details Electrical and plumbing details Sketches, schemes, and final plans. Roc's comments about Pavilion project: Park Visitor Center is a travesty. ANP Sup. Paul Haertel asked us for suggestions. We redid the parking lot for Explorer Bus access and built an information "kiosk" or gateway to the 57 stairs that climb up to the disappointing Visitor Center in the hope that our Kiosk would: create an iconographic image that previewed other Island Explorer information and bus shelters throughout the island. A wayfinding image that would be recognizable to people who might not speak English: and the Kiosk would answer questions to a good percentage of visitors and save them the climb to an unattractive destination and get them on their way. Wells Bacon and Carla Haskell helped with this project but I did a great deal of the work by myself as I really liked the project and the design. Roc's comments about the Bus Pavilions project: Paul Haertel and Jim Vekasi and Clay Gilley of ANP asked us to design small wayfinding bus shelters for various locations around the island . This is one of them. The idea was to create a visual vocabulary that was evocative of the Acadian region and Park that was similar in appearance to the Visitor Center Pavilion and easily recognizable to foreign and local visitors. Will Fellis and Todd Hardy and Engineer Bill Haney played a big part in realizing this design.
