The Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Visitor Center was due for a makeover and Trace leapt at the chance to refresh and reinvent the visitor experience. Research, workshops and community forums converged on one dynamic message; what if we create an experience here where visitors cannot help but fall in love with nature and by doing that they become lifelong environmental stewards?

Why not? The design challenge then became one of creating an emotional connection between the visitors, their experience of Wellfleet Bay and a continuing desire to protect all ecological environments.

The result is a dynamic space filled with stories, science, live critters, bird watching, crowd sourced photos, media by RLMG artwork by Frans Huisman.
