River-Recovered Heart Cypress Feature Walls and Reading Nooks Tell a Story of Sustainably at One Florida School
The Babcock Neighborhood School (BNS) in Punta Gorda, Florida is located in the country’s first solar-powered town. The school focuses on “greenSTEAM” – an education initiative that teaches science, technology, engineering, arts and math in a holistic learning environment. The program concentrates on local history culture and landscape, encouraging students to interact and explore the world and area around them.

Goodwin was proud to provide 1290sf of 3-1/4″ River-Recovered heart cypress tongue and groove for the project which is beautiful and has an educational story to tell. Take a look and please pardon the dust as the project is still under construction:
