New England Aquarium, East Wing Expansion

Renew—and rethink—a great aquarium

On a pier in Boston Harbor, an aging black-box Aquarium had turned its back on its site and its region. The East Wing Expansion was a vertical design challenge addressing the region's own waters. Five floors of exhibits included a 750,000-gallon Gulf of Maine habitat at its base and a 350,000-gallon rocky coast exhibit on its roof. Leveraging its living exhibits through a networked system of cameras, sensors, visitor interfaces and internet connections, the New England Aquarium would become a portal into the world it represents. Immersive aquatic exhibits and remote technologies would transform visitors into explorers both inside the Aquarium's walls and beyond them to the Gulf of Maine.
