There will be glass, lots of glass, to let natural light into the building and offer an unobstructed of the fort's earthen structures.
Upstairs, visitors will be able to travel back in time as they peruse the artifacts in the main exhibit space. Glass walls will offer ocean and natural landscape views, one which includes many live oaks stretching from the river to near the ocean.
There will be a 120-person multipurpose room available to rent, a gift shop overlooking the fort's earthworks, a second story balcony, a theater that will seat 100 people and a changeable exhibit gallery of artifacts from the North Carlina Underwater Archeology Center.
The underwater archeology center, or UAC, is housed at Fort Fisher in a series of buildings, some built during World War II. A new lab is also under construction several yards from the visitors center. The lab is not open to the public.
