The Eno River State Park meanders between the urban centers of Durham and Orange Counties. Our project is to replace an outdated visitor center in a location more closely connected to major trailheads. The new center is lightly perched just below the crest of a hill above the river, with through-forest views of the Eno’s most popular recreational beach. Spaces within the simple structure house exhibits and will provide a central point of operation for park staff. A broad breezeway, projecting overlook, and expansive deck at the north end of the building will provide prospect and refuge for visitors.
