Followed by a Happy Hour!\n\n\nOSAGE PARK \nOsage 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. \nThe 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. \nExisting 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. \n_____________________________________________ \nECOLOGICAL DESIGN GROUP | EDG | ecologicaldg.com \nEcological Design Group\, Inc. is a small business by choice\, recognizing our passion and commitment to the re-connectivity of our community to the landscape. Over the past century\, our natural ecological systems have been fragmented due to development and the introduction of industrial agriculture. The seamless connectivity from one system to another no longer exists and has been replaced by sterile environments requiring an abundance of energy and natural resources to maintain. \n \n_________________ : : HAPPY HOUR AT BENTONVILLE BREWING CO FOLLOWING THE TOUR : : _________________ URL:https://nawicnwa.org/event/nawic-fruition-of-a-project-osage-park-tour-happy-hour/ LOCATION:Osage Park\, 700 SW 16th St\, Bentonville\, AR\, 72712\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220607T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220607T173000 DTSTAMP:20260407T032214 CREATED:20220506T081514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220606T081519Z UID:3018-1654615800-1654623000@nawicnwa.org SUMMARY:NWA NAWIC | The Ledger Jobsite Tour & Happy Hour DESCRIPTION:Meet at the First Baptist Church parking lot on A Street to begin our tour of The Ledger\, then walk to The Hub for Happy Hour!\n\n\nTHE LEDGER \nLedger is a six-story\, 230\,000 SF work and community hub with an all glass exterior\, bikeable switchbacks\, terraces\, and outdoor access on each floor.

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.\n \n \nThe 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.\n \n \nPresenter: Jamie Claire Kiser\, Managing Principal\, Zweig Group URL:https://nawicnwa.org/event/nwa-nawic-meeting-elevateher/ LOCATION:Oelke Construction (Across from Atwoods)\, 225A Grant Parkway\, Lowell\, AR\, 72745\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nawicnwa.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/6523ea907fb71ca5b7a96d6c10775baa-8kELHr.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210722T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210722T190000 DTSTAMP:20260407T032214 CREATED:20210630T225414Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210722T173939Z UID:2729-1626973200-1626980400@nawicnwa.org SUMMARY:Christmas in July - NWA NAWIC Chapter Meeting DESCRIPTION:It’s Christmas in July and you’re invited!
