Should it be full STEAM ahead?

Feedback sought for proposed park
The proposed STEAM Park project – featured here as an artist’s rendering – would be located next to the Powerhouse Science Center off Camino del Rio.

Durango has been abuzz with opinions on the proposed science, theatre, education, arts and music facility, and now residents will have a chance to share those opinions for the record.

The consultants from Berkebile, Nelson, Immenschuh, McDowell – hired to conduct the feasibility study for the STEAM Park – will be downtown taking comments Thursday and Friday.

On Thursday, they’ll be at the Durango Arts Center from 5 to 7 p.m. as part of the First Thursdays Art Walk. And from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Noel Night, they’ll be at the Durango Welcome Center, at 802 Main Avenue.

Residents also can take the survey online.

The proposed project has an estimated price tag of $30 million.

One member of the BNIM team grew up in Durango: Architect and project manager Matthew Winter completed his bachelor’s degree at Fort Lewis College before getting his architectural degree from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He still maintains a home here.
