The first week of Summer Institute flies by so quickly! We began this, our fourth day of Camp Flint Hills at the Leadership Studies building. Last year we visited this magnificent building for the first time, and knew that returning here was a must.
Lori Kniffin, Administrative Specialist guided us through the building on a quick tour, describing the thoughtful design of the building. Classrooms are designed for collaboration and flexibility, with fantastic technology available. She shared that the school had achieved Gold LEED certification for its sustainability. http://www.k-state.edu/leadership/documents/Article1.pdf
During the construction of the building, the last remaining cypress tree on campus was saved from destruction by adjusting the design of the building.
The artwork displayed here is a source of inspiration. http://www.k-state.edu/leadership/artInfo.html?section=ourBuilding&selected=artInfo Having the time to take it all in is a gift this day. The writing that usually comes from this is rich and reflective.
All of the photographs displayed are taken by K-State students and faculty and the artwork is done by Kansas artists. What an amazing display of Kansas heritage and creativity!
Many thanks to Lori Kniffin and all the folks in the Leadership Studies building for their hospitality.
