Field House Harvest
Within Field Park stands a 100-year-old field house nearing the end-of-life phase.
In lieu of demolishing the existing field house, we propose to harvest it.
By carefully deconstructing the existing building and repurposing many of its components, the new field house minimizes its embodied energy, curbs the consumption of raw materials, send less waste to the landfill, and sets a new standard for sustainable civic design.
