Roc received his BA from Dartmouth College and a Master of Architecture degree from Yale University. He and and wife Helen arrived on MDI in 1974 where he was hired to start a program in Environmental Design at the College of the Atlantic. While at COA, Roc, Barbara Sassaman and Harris Hyman established an office in Southwest Harbor where they were involved in the renovation of the Turrets, a granite shorefront “cottage” designed by Bruce Price and originally built in 1895. They also created the Wendell Gilley Museum, the Somesville bridge and a number of single family residences. For over 45 years Roc Caivano Architects prepared the master plan for Acadia National Park, the renovation and conversion of the Schoodic Navel Station in to the Schoodic National Park Education Center, Acadia’s Fee Station and the Island Explorer Bus Shelter System, the Mary Dow and MDI Hospital Oncology Centers and other medical and educational facilities.

|  Coastal Marine Life History of Mount Desert Island 1903-2021 College of the Atlantic Description: Mount Desert Island, located off the east coast of Maine, is completely surrounded by intertidal environments. Throughout the 1900s, data was collected and recorded in notebooks regarding intertidal life by numerous researchers, followed by entry into a spreadsheet by Michael Hays, a citizen scientist who worked with the MDIBL (Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory). In present day, these data can be put into a map thanks to ArcGIS Pro. These data includes large amounts of information regarding marine life around the coastal environments of MDI, such as species common and Latin names, locations observed (where on the island along with Lat. and Long.), observation year, along with some brief notes about each observation.
