Join us in honoring the Elizabeth River Project's

Join us in honoring the Elizabeth River Project's Pru and Louis Ryan Resilience Lab as a finalist for best urban design in Fast Company's Innovation by Design 2024 Awards.

Located in Norfolk, Virginia’s Knitting Mill Creek, this laboratory serves as ERP’s headquarters for outreach and education, showcasing climate resilience techniques applicable across Coastal Virginia. Our team led the design and engineering of all site, shoreline, and landscape features on this former brownfield site, including bioretention elements, permeable pavers, the boat dock, living shorelines, and the circular observation boardwalk.

A key aspect of this project was the City of Norfolk’s Coastal Resilience Overlay Zone requirements. We also designed the site to accommodate the first rolling conservation easement in the country, which will eventually surrender the site back to the sea as water levels rise to specific elevations.

The Innovation by Design Awards celebrate world designers across all disciplines who are pioneering creative solutions to today’s most pressing issues. The inclusion of the Ryan Resilience Lab in these awards highlights the vital work of local environmental advocates like the Elizabeth River Project and underscores the crucial role that resilience in design will continue to play in our communities.

We were thrilled to recently meet with and gain valuable input from the community surrounding the Granby Street Fishing Pier project site in Norfolk, Virginia. Thanks to the full design team behind this endeavor. We hope to incorporate some of the things we heard at the meeting as we seek to provide a safer, more aesthetically pleasing, and better functioning public access to the water.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: The Ryan Resilience Lab had its official Grand Opening on June 1st and it was a great day to be outside and enjoying the restored natural landscape of Knitting Mill Creek in Norfolk. SGA led the design of all of the ecosystem and site resilience elements on a former brownfield and marina site. The project included the removal of the hard engineered sheet piling and the restoration of the natural habitat with a living shoreline designed to promote oyster populations and to respond to sea level rise. A wide variety of other green infrastructure was integrated into the design including bio-retention and permeable paving. The last piece of the project is currently under construction, which is an elevated circular boardwalk that will serve as an important element for environmental education for visitors and school groups.
