It was an especially rewarding experience to engage directly with UCW students during this project.

🌿✨ As Naperville Park District marks a decade of Knoch Knolls Nature Center this month, we're reflecting on the design that blends architecture with nature and fosters a bond between people and the environment.🌳 "When designing a nature center, [...] the spotlight is on nature and creating an intersection between the built environment and nature, where the building will bring the unique properties of the ecosystem in focus to create opportunities to learn." Our team is honored to have contributed to the Naperville and surrounding communities with this project. 💚 https://lnkd.in/gh-wn9uE
