Final Design Studio June 30
June 25, 2008
Don’t miss another chance to see the latest designs, and give your input and feedback. Your ideas count!
On Monday, June 30th from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm Koch Hazard Architects, along with the Rural Learning Center, will host the final public feedback session related to the RLC campus. This is the last in a series of sessions that began April 1st and continued April 29th and 30th. The previous sessions were focused on gathering ideas from the community about what the new campus should be and do. Architects and staff used the ideas gathered during the charrette to begin the design process, and will share the emerging design concepts with the community on the 30th.
Everyone is invited to attend the session at the Howard Legion Hall Monday (6/30) at 4:00 pm. You can learn more about the charrette by calling MCCR at 772-5153.

Sneak a Peek
June 23, 2008
The Rural Learning Center staff and board of directors just met with Koch Hazard Architects for a design update. Now you can sneak a peek at the very latest conceptual designs of the new campus. It’s been a long and winding road over the past three months of brainstorming and designing with local community members and other project stakeholders. The drawings below are the fourth evolving version so far, and it’s still a work in progress (just click on the arrows to move forward or backward in the presentation).
We’ll be hosting a community design session at 4pm at the Howard, SD American Legion Hall on Monday June 30. There, we’ll show off the newest designs and ideas, and get your input and feedback. Don’t miss it!
Round Two Rundown
June 1, 2008
Koch Hazard Architects and the Rural Learning Center/MCCR staff hosted two days of brainstorming, design and feedback on April 29 – 30 in Howard, SD. The workshop, called a “charrette,” included roundtable discussions and prioritization on campus elements, uses and needs, preliminary design concepts and space requirements, and public feedback. During a Town Hall meeting at Howard High School on April 29, local residents voted on over 100 different design element images, helping the architects discover local preferences and expectations.
Over 75 local people, along with project investors and stakeholders, design and construction professionals, and experts in important fields (like hotel management, hospitality, food service, sound, technology and conferencing) took part in the workshops.
Now the architect team will work to produce more detailed design concepts based on input and ideas from charrette attendees. These designs will be further refined at a final design workshop on June 30, 2008.
