Renowned design firms Ennead Architects, KSS Architects, and G&A celebrated the opening of the Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University in Mantua Township, New Jersey on March 31, 2025. Situated within a 65-acre fossil park, the 44,000-square-foot museum is one of New Jersey's largest public net-zero carbon emissions buildings. It integrates immersive exhibits within a highly sustainable structure that connects visitors to the site's rich prehistoric past. Visitors can explore nature trails, dig for fossils in a four-acre former marl quarry, and uncover insights into the events leading to Earth's fifth mass extinction.
