University of Iowa students were tasked with completing preliminary design work for the High Trestle Trail Information Center requested by the Boone County Conservation Board. The project included the design of a small but unique partially enclosed shelter. The shelter will provide a space for information to be displayed and amenities for trail users such as a bottle filling station, bike rack, and bike repair station. In addition, the 25 ft. by 47 ft. information center will provide shelter to trail users, and educational space. The 20 ft. by 10 ft. enclosed portion of the information center creates a space for trail users to learn more about the rich history of Boone County and the High Trestle Trail.
