Architecture Overview:

Renovation of an existing history museum, adding a Sandhills Ecology Wing and integrating the history of the community with that of the natural ecology. Inspired by the landscape - a vast native grassland that shelters one billion acre-feet of ground water and covers nearly 20,000 square miles in northern and northwestern Nebraska - the structure becomes an essay on the sandhills.
