OSAGE PARK
Osage Park is an urban park designed as the recreational destination location in Bentonville, Arkansas. It’s preserved and enhanced wetland system acts as a ‘soft infrastructure’ that soaks up and filters stormwater; slowly releasing it, decreasing flooding downstream, and improving water quality.
The Osage Park design team lead by Martin Smith, (EDG Principal & OK State Alumni) studied in depth the watershed, ecology and natural systems of this site prior to implementing the design strategies. The design was orchestrated in harmonious fashion with the pavilion, natural wetland system along with the passive and active programming for the project.
Existing wetlands created by beavers were already providing habitat for many species on site, including several of conservation concern. These wetlands also slowed stormwater runoff, improved water quality, helped recharge groundwater aquifers, and reduce flooding downstream. There was a conscious effort to expand and integrate the park with the beaver wetlands and create a connection to Lake Bentonville increasing these benefits. The preservation of the flooded beaver wetlands provides a firsthand look at a delicate wetland system and educates visitors on the importance of the wetlands in an urban watershed.

NWA NAWIC Meeting - ElevateHER
2021-08-11 12:00 - 13:00 | Oelke Construction (Across from Atwoods), 225A Grant Parkway, Lowell, AR, 72745, United States
Come to learn how to approach the AEC industry’s recruiting & retention challenges in order to stabilize, flourish, & grow!

“ElevateHER: A path to a more engaged, sustainable workforce”

The path to building companies that better reflect the clients and communities that we serve is an effort that we at Zweig Group have invested energy and resources to address since the launch of ElevateHer as a way to combat the AEC industry’s recruiting and retention challenges. The additional challenges of 2020 truly have the potential to set this important work back if we do not take seriously the genuine fissures in our workforce and workplace practices. The firm that can find opportunity in the circumstance, though, will be remembered for how they responded as entrepreneurs, leaders, and humans for years to come.

The decisions firm leaders make today will determine the talent available to the industry for the next professional generation. The lessons learned from previous crises tell us that there is a very real threat that diversity and inclusion programs are at risk for receding from the forefront as a strategic priority for organizations unintentionally as companies focus on basic needs to transition to the “new normal,” which could cripple organizations – and, indeed, the entire AEC industry – in the future as they seek to stabilize, flourish, and grow.
