Bond Confluence Outdoor Classroom

Located on the south side of PLC’s InSTEM on the Prairie Building, the “Bond Patio” will be an outdoor classroom focused on water resources and management in Colorado. A mural planned for the south wall will depict the geologic strata (layers) underlying the northern Front Range of Colorado. In addition to the mural, the Bond Patio will include; a large rock seating/kinetic play area on a slope metaphorically representing the Mummy Range headwater of Cache la Poudre River, a depiction on the concrete pad of the Cache la Poudre River’s course from headwater to confluence, a stream table to provide a learning model of hydrologic function, representative plant biomes found in the Cache la Poudre Watershed, and site for various water related experimentation.

Funding dependent, a canopy over the patio will increase usability of the Bond Classroom and protect the mural from the elements. The Bond classroom is framed by outstanding views of Colorado’s Northern Front Range.
