Case Study: Ocean Discovery Institute creates a zero-net energy Living Lab with Hughes Marino

Ocean Discovery Institute builds 12,000 SF Living Lab with Hughes Marino

Ocean Discovery Institute (ODI) required a new facility to provide after-school science education to underserved students. The challenge involved a multi-year process of fundraising, planning, and constructing a revolutionary, zero-net energy building. Hughes Marino was engaged to provide project and construction management services to help ODI realize this vision.

Hughes Marino assisted ODI for over four years, from initial land acquisition and design planning through construction. Their team managed the project's budget, ensured structural integrity, and collaborated with the school district to guarantee timely delivery. The result was the successful construction of the 12,000 SF Living Lab, a $14 million facility that met ODI's goals for sustainable design and educational impact.
