After Camp Owahta’s arts and crafts building burned down last year, Kelly Guy, executive director of Cornell Cooperative Extension Cortland County, saw an opportunity to do something different with the camp, but she needed ideas.
Now she’s getting dozens of them from students in the B.Arch. Engaged Practices Design Studio course, who spent a semester getting to know the camp, its uses, and its potential. Architecture faculty Hanna Tulis, Sean Anderson, Val Warke, Stefana Kuzmova, Margaret Kirk, and Emma Silverblatt helped guide the students' projects.
