Do you really 'always turn right'?
The first visitor center we designed was the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center for the Everglades National Park in 1993.

He insisted that the gift shop be located on the right as one exited the visitor center because people “always turn right.”
At GWWO, we are architects, thinkers, wonderers, creators, partners, collaborators, debaters, and questioners. It is in this spirit—and based on our desire to engage, share, and discuss—that we blog. Our intent is to bring you news from the industry and our cultural and educational markets, to discuss our point of view, to pose thought-provoking questions, and to engage in discussion with our readers. We invite your suggestions, questions and comments and look forward to an open and lively dialogue. Visit http://blog.gwwoinc.com.
