Manasquan Howell Township Peninsula, NJ

Reservoir Environmental Center

Robert Cody Designer / Detailer  2/97 Silberstang Architect NY

The Manasquan Environmental Center acts as an educational center for wildlife and woodlands of the area.   The moment the visitor steps up to the entrance plaza at the parking area’s southeast side, a casual walk along a 200-foot nature trail leads to a clearing in the woods.   It is at this point, where the Center introduces itself into the landscape as a three-part structure: the administrative and classrooms bar, the maintenance and mechanical bar, and a contoured gallery line of pavilions, connected by a circular auditorium.
