01. NOAA ReachSearch Vessel Research Facility
Location : Seawall Blvd,Galveston,TX Sqft : 25,450 ft²
Aerial view of NOAA REACHSEARCH VESSEL near the Galveston barrier system Located along the Galveston Seawall at the north-eastern end of the island, the NOAA Reachsearch Vessel, a mixed innovation center where the public and NOAA scientists dedicate to study the ocean, climate, and space. Based on NOAA’s mission statement, the design concept of the project is intended to reach out towards research staff and the public about the study of the ocean , marine life species harvesting, and hurricane preparedness. Therefore, the final form design resembles the soon-to-be developed IKE Dike, a barrier system located between the northeast end of Galveston island and the SITE PLAN 03
southwest end of the Bolivar Peninsula to prevent another potential hurricane disaster.
