Acadia National Park Gateway Center

The cathedral-like Welcome Center space will operate similarly to a transit hub for the Island Explorer, with public bathrooms, extensive bench seating, and visitor resources.

The center incorporates several sustainability features, including a geothermal heating and cooling system, a rooftop solar panel array, and electric vehicle charging stations.

Separate from the large main building, there are 250 parking spaces, two small additional timber features, a bus stop shelter area, and an information kiosk space.
