This past weekend, Master of Landscape Architecture students Gregory Bunker, Jessica Wagner and David Garcia Gonzales were awarded first place at the 2012/13 Ontario Tire Stewardship Student Design Challenge. The U of T team beat out seven other Ontario design schools to take home the top prize. The challenge was to redesign a space for the YMCA of Greater Toronto that utilized recycled rubber products.

Their winning concept, a striking and functional design that effectively addressed user needs, will become a reality this summer with the help of Daniels faculty member, Professor Elise Shelley.
