Metro Parks

Imagine a system of parks spread across a county, designed to create wonder and awe, a love of the wild in children and adults of all ages from all walks of life…

Client Vision

The Glacier Ridge Wind and Solar Learning Center wanted to create an outdoor classroom that provided a space for students to learn about wind and solar power. However, the outdoor classroom also needed to shield students from the abundance of wind and sun that made it a good space for wind and solar power.

Challenges that were Overcome

To accommodate the vision, we sunk the outdoor classroom/amphitheater into the ground to help provide shelter from the wind and provided a canopy to provide shade from the sun.
