BRINGING ART TO LIFE AT NEMACOLIN
The Nemacolin Art Gallery was envisioned as a cultural centerpiece within the resort, designed to enhance the guest experience while respecting the natural landscape. Our team’s role was to ensure that every technical element supported this vision.
-
Site Planning with Purpose: Detailed base mapping and topographic surveys allowed us to design a site plan that minimized earthwork, preserved natural features, and created a welcoming pedestrian experience.
-
Guest-Centered Access: The parking lot and pedestrian routes were designed for convenience and inclusiveness, blending seamlessly into the resort’s aesthetic while ensuring ADA compliance.
-
Sustainable Infrastructure: Stormwater management and erosion control strategies protected the resort’s environment, meeting regulatory requirements and aligning with the resort’s sustainability goals.
-
Behind-the-Scenes Reliability: Utility extensions and sewage coordination ensured the museum operates with dependable infrastructure, invisible to guests but critical to the experience.
The result: a museum that not only showcases art but also demonstrates how thoughtful engineering and land development can elevate Nemacolin’s cultural offerings, protect its environment, and create a lasting guest experience.
