2013 Design Challenge:
Re-imagine the use of Eastern White Pine in the modern classroom.

• How can we bring the outside in to stimulate the educational experience?
• How would a more nature-accented design create a more inspirational space to learn?
• How would you feature Eastern White Pine in the modern classroom?
• Consider the applications for a library, an outdoor educational center, or as a design accent for, or feature of, a traditional classroom.
• Challenge the status quo of industrial, educational design by embracing wood [Eastern White Pine] when designing an inspiring educational environment.
