New Atlantic performed the expansion of the existing museum program into an adjacent rock quarry that was abandoned in the 1920s. This design opened up a whole new dimension of life and science learning for the museum’s curriculum.
The concept featured bears, wolves and lemurs in natural terrain with man-made rock and water features, an inhabited wetland area,a man-made sailboat pond, animal holding facilities, and a boardwalk descending down the face of a 26 FT cliff and winding through the wetlands. The project also included 2 visitor centers, a parking lot expansion, and a new entrance to the Museum Animal Experts.
One bear, named Ursula, already lived there in an existing holding facility, located where the new waterfall pond area would be constructed. We had to build her a new home and set up temporary fencing to transfer her in order to free up this space.

Over a hundred years old, this historic landmark broke ground on a new Family Life Center in downtown New Bern, NC.
New Atlantic was selected early on to partner with Tabernacle Baptist Church for this addition and to be a partner as they moved through the process of design development and now with construction.
The project consisted of approximately 25,000 SF of a new, 2-story addition that contains classrooms, a performance area, a multipurpose room with athletic flooring and a commercial kitchen. The exterior consisted of brick veneer and precast with colonial style windows.
New Atlantic had to assist with estimating multiple conceptual designs over several years until the right program and design was established. Although new, it blends in nicely with the historical district of New Bern.

The Carolina SciQuarium project had to tie into the existing facility and required converting the Gems and Minerals Gallery into the TriceraShop, and the old gift shop into the Fresh Market Cafe. This facility is North Carolina’s only inland aquarium featuring a variety of water-dependent animals including penguins, sharks, otters, eels, stingrays, a rare fishing cat, an anaconda, and fish of all shapes and colors.
Parking, access, and traffic flow was a challenge as part of the main parking area for the facility was chosen to be the new home of the Carolina SciQuarium. The main entrance had to be demolished and included demolition of a large concrete reinforced steel canopy.
The exterior of the Carolina SciQuarium is as unique on the outside as it is on the inside. The facade is constructed of 2 types of metal wall panels, and a pressed composite wood product called Parklex (imported from Spain).
New Atlantic installed the life line of the Carolina SciQuarium: the Life Support Systems (7,500 gallon, 2,500 gallon, and 2,400 gallon tanks and piping) support the 6 exhibits (Shark Reef, Fishing Cat, Otter, Amazon, Harbor, and Penguin). The total water system is 100,000 gallons.

New Atlantic has worked with Reynolda Church EPC since 2003 on various historical renovations and addition projects from copper roof replacement, classroom renovations, and foundation repairs.
Reynolda Church is over 90 years old and is a historic landmark in the famed Reynolda Village. This structure had not been touched in over 40 years until New Atlantic performed interior and exterior renovations. We were selected early on to partner with the church for their new Worship Center and Festival Hall.
