TREC is an interpretive facility for the unique peninsula known as Presque Isle State Park on the southern shore of Lake Erie. This multi-use building not only serves as a visitor’s gateway to the Park and the Great Lakes Region, but also houses exhibits, educational facilities, research laboratories and administrative space for various natural resource-related organizations.
Presque Isle is a recurving sandspit that is constantly shaped and influenced by change and ecological transformation. The notion of change played a significant role in the design of the project as TREC and the surrounding landscape attempt to capture a sense of transformation through form, material and experience.
