This 108,000 square foot facility was designed to incorporate sustainable technologies and green building systems, utilizing rammed earth construction, greywater systems, solar heating and natural ventilation. The structure also has very strong cultural significance, which was inspired by the buffalo as a sacred being to the Lakota Sioux people. Project components include administrative offices, food service and commercial kitchen facilities with culinary arts facilities, an equestrian arts facility, vocational classrooms with wood and metal shops, an environmental design academy focused on recycling of found objects, geothermal heating, wind energy as well as solar energy and earth-integrated technologies, a tropical greenhouse in a natural setting for cultivation of edibles along with farming of the tasty fish tilapia, math and science classrooms, athletic facilities with swimming pool and gymnasium, performing arts facilities, and art gallery for student work a library.
The circular arrangement of the project components represents the Path of Life as interpreted in the Lakota culture. The tensile roof structure represents the shoulder of the buffalo from which all life comes to the Lakota, while the ceremonial platform atop the roof represents the sacred eagle perched on the buffalo shoulder, representing the connection between spirituality and all life. Fundraising for this project is underway.
