For the third year in a row, Dunwoody Architecture students have been working on a hands-on collaborative design project with renowned environmentalist Will Steger. The class was given the task of working on phased plans for future development at the Steger Wilderness Center (SWC).<\/p>\n

The class studied, collected data and created maps to illustrate current site conditions and a phased plan for future development of the Steger Wilderness Center. The final site maps will be presented to the St. Louis County Planning Commission for the purpose of rezoning the Steger Wilderness Center from private to semi-public use.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Will Steger is 50 years into what he says is a 100-year project. With the help of Dunwoody students, the Steger Wilderness Center continues to grow and foster countless success stories for both students and visitors.<\/p>\n

Following research, mapping, and even a week-long retreat to the wilderness center, students went on to present their plans and models to Will Steger and a handful of industry professionals from both Dunwoody and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe objective of this project is for students to get a hands-on experience working with site in architecture,\u201d assistant professor Molly Reichert said.<\/p>\n

The class broke off into five different teams to propose upgrades and expansions on the land. The teams were Accommodations and Use; Construction and Septic; Accessibility; Forestry and Privacy; and Energy Systems.<\/p>\n

Will Steger is best known for his work in environmental sciences and exploring the artic. He opened the Steger Wilderness Center in 2014. The SWC, located in Ely, Minnesota, has a mission to teach and inspire people within a wilderness setting. This mission resonated with the Dunwoody students as they spent time getting to know the site.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt secluded at the wilderness center,\u201d said architecture student Logan Brandes. \u201cSWC is about being in the wilderness. Our job to help expand aspects of the center was made easier once we experienced the space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students worked on making visual graphics, 3D models, and conceptual renderings. \u201cTaking a step back from building codes and doing something abstract and big picture helped me grow as a student and professional,\u201d architecture student Nathaniel Nelson said. \u201cOur time at the SWC was spent doing our separate things to grow and gain a passion for this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA success story of this project over the years has been seeing students who transfer into Dunwoody mold with others. Students get to connect and collaborate,\u201d Professor Reichert said.<\/p>\n

According to architecture student Cole Charpentier, Will Steger and the students share a mutual passion for the work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is good to be in the classroom with students who are so hands-on,\u201d Steger said. \u201cIt\u2019s not a traditional classroom setting and I like that. Dunwoody students are the best.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
