New class of Architecture students help bring previous design proposals to life<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A new group of Architecture students visited the Steger Wilderness Center in August 2017 to prepare for their semester project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In August of 2016, third-year Architecture students were challenged with one of the program\u2019s largest and most innovative projects yet: to design a brand new dining hall for the Steger Wilderness Center<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The venture inspired the program\u2019s first studio course, Dining Wild<\/u><\/a>, led by Architecture Senior Instructor Molly Reichert and wilderness adventurer and Center founder Will Steger.<\/p>\n

Dining Wild<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Throughout the studio, students spent their semester touring the site<\/u><\/a>, working with local businesses in the culinary industry<\/u><\/a>, and creating design proposals. And in December of 2016, students\u00a0pitched three different design ideas to Steger<\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n

But, the project didn\u2019t end there. Instead, those three designs were saved for the next class of Architecture students, who were charged with turning their predecessors\u2019 proposals into one final building design.<\/p>\n

Same project, new students <\/strong><\/h6>\n

\u201cThe second semester of Dining Wild was very interesting in that we were not starting from scratch,\u201d Reichert said. \u201cTypically architecture studios start with a clean slate and students can let their ideas run wild over the course of the semester. This semester required a much more rigorous and focused approach to move the design forward and respond to the client\u2019s needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

With help from Steger, the new group of students spent their fall semester combining and refining last year\u2019s schematic designs.<\/p>\n

“It was good to have a starting point,\u201d Architecture Student Jacob Larson said. \u201cAnd working with Will is really interesting.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what he likes and you can incorporate that into the design,\u201d he said. \u201cWorking with your client is really helpful because you get that clear feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n

The process <\/strong><\/h6>\n

To ensure their final design would remain environmentally friendly as well as respond to the chilly site conditions of northern Minnesota, students spent several days visiting and exploring the build site. They also received helpful information and building tips from industry professionals.<\/p>\n

Architecture students learn from a SIPA representative in class lecture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last semester, Marvin Windows and the Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA) presented on sustainable methods of building and how windows and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) can contribute to a more efficient construction schedule.<\/p>\n

Mechanical Engineer Craig Tarr\u2014who specializes in alternative energy\u2014also shared what mechanical systems and appliances were most efficient and ecologically sound.<\/p>\n

Students even enlisted help from Dunwoody\u2019s Surveying & Civil Engineering Technology program. Last spring, Surveying students surveyed the Center grounds to provide the Architecture students with necessary site information to help move the project forward.<\/p>\n

The result<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Using this information, students worked in separate groups, each tackling different pieces of the final building documents. Groups included a Drawing and Renderings team, a Material and Product Specifications team, and a Physical Model team.<\/p>\n

Students then combined their findings and suggestions into one ideal construction plan. This plan was then proposed to\u2014and immediately approved by\u2014Steger and his team late last month.<\/p>\n

The Center is expected to break ground later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fun working on a project that is actually going to be built,\u201d Larson said. \u201cIt\u2019s an experience I won\u2019t forget!\u201d<\/p>\n
