A new mixed-use facility to house Canal Dock Boathouse, Inc., a community-oriented, waterfront boating organization. Canal Dock will offer multiple types of recreational and competitive boating opportunities, from dragon boating, to rowing & sailing, as well as environmental education programs through a partnership with the University of New Haven. The project, funded by the Federal Highway Administration as part of the" I-95 New Haven Harbor Crossing Corridor Improvement Program," resulted from the impact of the Q-bridge construction on the historic Adee boathouse.

An unusual feature of this project is the incorporation of the historic Adee Boathouse entry portal and stair tower with its elaborate terra cotta, masonry, windows and stair which has been salvaged in its entirety for this purpose.
