Design Connect, a Cornell University student-run organization, will work with Sterling Nature Center on potential designs for a new interpretive building.
Cayuga County applied to the organization, and Center Director Jim D’Angelo was notified at the end of January that the center had been chosen. The group is now working to assemble a team of students, D’Angelo said, and will likely come for a site visit soon.
“The students working on the project will offer a dynamic set of skills, knowledge and backgrounds to the project and similar the project will be filled with fantastic real-world learning experience for the students,” said Thackston Crandall, master of landscape architecture at Cornell, in the acceptance letter to D’Angelo.
