The Center is proposed to be the United States’ foremost facility focused on educating the public about the nature of hurricanes and related tropical storms, providing a rich, multifaceted exploration of these extraordinary storms. The museum will educate visitors on how hurricanes develop, their impact on land, water and buildings, and how to prepare, survive and recover. Reich+Petch developed the museum master plan, including exhibit concepts that include a high-speed wind tunnel, a hurricane ‘frozen in time’, and plenty of opportunities to explore the meteorology and the science of hurricane development.
