The $4 million building designed by Savannah-based Sottile & Sottile has been in the works for more than 10 years. Situated to make a minimal impact on the dunes and to catch prevailing winds for passive cooling and ventilation, the building will feature a clear glass and naturally weathered wood facade with two distinct galleries. With 5,400 square feet in its main floor, it will host interpretive exhibits, a retail shop, outdoor educational programming, an amphitheater, and other outdoor recreational elements.
The project is expected to be complete in about a year. Until then, the north end of the lot and the northern-most beach crossover will be closed. Between 30 and 40 parking spaces are expected to be unavailable as a result, though Tybee is looking for nearby alternative spots.
