Originally
constructed in the 1930's from lumber surrounding the site,
the structure of the historic Plunkett family barn served
as the base for what is now the Beazell Forest Education
Center, a multi-purpose facility used for group gatherings,
parties, and educational seminars.
The
Forest Education Center stays true to its roots as a barn.
Much of the original structure remains and plays a crucial
role in the experience of the Forest Education Center.
Existing interior partitions and flooring were reused in
various ways throughout the building, from creating bench
seating to serving as guard rails. The barn's
original siding was stripped off and reused either as
siding or as interior partitions. Low impact
construction techniques were utilized, minimizing site
disturbance and allowing the surrounding environment to
quickly return to its original state.
The
Beazell Forest Education Center epitomizes the kind of work
Broadleaf Architecture excels at. An existing
structure has been given a new life through careful
planning, sustainable practices, and hard work.
