Hult Center Acoustic Shell Now Hears a Different Kind of Music <br /> Ever wonder what happens to the materials you <br /> recycle as environmentally-astute City employees? <br /> The following is one interesting scenario, which was <br /> reported in the April 21,2004, online issue of <br /> Architecture Week: <br /> <br /> Pictured is the Chapel of Second Chances, an open- <br /> air structure used for second-wedding ceremonies, the <br /> renewal of vows, and educational events. Also <br /> pictured are the University of Oregon architecture <br /> students who designed and built the structure during a <br /> ten-week term taught by instructor Michael Cockram. <br /> <br />BRING Recycling Center challenged the students to create and construct a portable structure using <br />exclusively reused materials from their yards. Among the many useful "treasures" discovered was a pile <br />of fiberglass panels which once made up an acoustic shell used by the Eugene Symphony in the Hult <br />Center. The lightweight panels came in an assortment of lengths and were just the thing for creating this <br />attractive, portable structure. The chapel will find a semi-permanent home in a demonstration garden <br />when BRING's new Planet Improvement Center is completed in 2005. <br /> <br />For more information, contact LRCS Executive Assistant Maureen Robeson at 682-6065.
