Case Study: Building a More Sustainable Future at Edelman Fossil Park & Museum

The Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University, designed by Ennead Architects with KSS Architects, unites science, architecture, and sustainability to foster education and environmental stewardship. Inspired by the fossil record and geological narrative of the site itself, the design integrates indoor learning experiences with outdoor exploration, centered on a natural aesthetic that grounds the building in its environment.

Now the largest net-zero carbon building in New Jersey, this groundbreaking destination sets a new benchmark for green building practices, brought to life through thoughtful design and collaboration. Watch as the project architects discuss their design vision and how reSAWN’s guidance, support, and products played a vital role in realizing that vision, aligning it with the museum’s mission of protecting our planet’s future.
