This year’s High School Design Competition project was a classroom and workshop building for a community garden managed by Toledo GROWs. This garden has proven to be a great asset to the local residents in both providing for food and improving community pride. A space is needed at the garden site where maintenance and improvement projects can occur (workshop), and where learning associated with the garden (including cooking classes) can occur. Storage of supplies for the gardens is needed. The building will react to and enhance the adjacent urban infrastructure, complement the existing site amenities, and be functional for both pedestrian and motor vehicle access.
A chicken coop will be shown somewhere on the site. Toledo GROWs is always looking for unique and improved chicken coop designs, and is interested in innovations students may propose.
This project incorporates a building of no more than 4,000 square feet, along with exterior site features.
Ms. Khodadad will talk about the path through school to a career in architecture.
Congresswoman Kaptur and Mr. Szuberla will discuss the importance of community gardens in general, Toledo GROWs in particular, and will let us know about local initiatives in our community.
We strongly encourage our architect members to attend this highly-supported community outreach program regardless of whether you have participated or not.
Special thanks to the following organizations for making this year’s competition possible

2011 Student Information Sheet
The student information sheet that is to accompany all student entries is at this link. Per the instructions on the program sheet, please include a filled out copy of this form in a sealed envelope on BOTH boards of the student entry.
Senior information has been combined with this form. Seniors only need to fill out that section of the sheet (for our use in determining scholarship eligibility). Please write legibly when filling out this form so the student names are spelled correctly in the awards ceremony program.
Projects are due March 30 at Rossi & Associates, hopefully the students are well along with their designs!
