Students of the Interdisciplinary Design Institute at Washington State University Spokane will present their design concept for an Inland Northwest Natural Resource Education Center to be located on the Peone Prairie to the Ag Bureau of the Spokane Regional Chamber of Commerce from noon this Friday (February 3). The purpose of the proposed facility is to increase awareness of agriculture, forestry, wildlife, and water resource management; offer opportunities for education and practical experience for schools and colleges; provide a location for urban youth to complete livestock, crop, and natural resource projects, and provide a location for community-supported agriculture projects. The presenting group was selected from three interdisciplinary student teams who presented their concepts developed during their fall Interdisciplinary Design Studio class taught by lecturer Suzanne Snowdon to a varied audience in December. It is expected that elements of the designs from all three groups will be used in the final design for the project.
The presentation, which will include a video fly-through of the students’ design, will be from noon to 1 p.m. at the Longhorn Barbecue,
For more information on the project, contact Dave Bauermeister, executive director of the Northwest Natural Resources Institute, at (509) 979-5148, or dbauermeister@chamber.spokane.net.
