The National Park Service proposes to address damage related to the hurricanes and improve resiliency against future storm events.

The Work consists of:

1. Interior Renovations to the Education Center - East and West sides of the building (Area 1). Also includes replacement of exterior windows and replacement of existing chiller and chiller piping.

2. Interior Renovations to the Admin Building (former Visitor Center) including renovations to the exhibit and office areas. Renovations of public restrooms to accommodate new storage space and lactation room. (Area 2)

3. Site work at Maintenance Complex and Admin Building (Former VC) parking areas including replacement of entry gate, fence replacement and repairs, new paving and re-paving, new canopy and minor modifications to Maintenance Complex Building (Area 3)

4. Site Work at Jones Point (Area 4). Work includes removal of Jones Point Trailer and all appurtenances to accommodate site reclamation. Site work includes demolition, utilities, grading, planting, and some fence work.
