The environmental group is constructing a 6,500-foot resilience lab along Colley Avenue and Knitting Mill Creek.
The building has an intentional life span of about 30 to 50 years; when sea levels reach a certain height, the structure can be disassembled and moved to allow a living shoreline, that’s part of the design, to take its place.
The lab was designed by the Norfolk firm Work Program Architects and will be constructed to protect against a 3-foot increase in sea level. It is also being built using “off-the-shelf materials that any business owner or resident has access to,” said Sam Bowling, lead architect and project manager. The Hampton Roads Sanitation District already built a dock on the property and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science has put in a water monitoring station there. Other institutions are planning to conduct research at the lab when construction is completed.
