Description

The Girl Scouts Camp Tongawood is envisioned as a regional hub for STEAM learning that will offer a variety of immersive indoor and outdoor educational experiences that inspire, challenge, and empower girls. BNIM is currently working with the Girl Scouts of Northeast Kansas Northwest Missouri to support this vision by designing buildings and environments as teaching tools integrated with nature at the 76-acre camp. The new STEAM Learning Center, Lodge, and Year- Round Cabins will be designed targeting Net Zero Energy by incorporating high performance building envelope strategies, efficient HVAC systems, and opportunities for renewable solar systems. The design also includes a Wetland Outdoor Learning Pavilion and a nature-based wastewater treatment system, creating new opportunities to expand the camp’s current outdoor applied learning activities focused on life sciences and technology.
