  • 2019-2020 Design Drafting Project
    Design Drafting Competition 2019-2020 Design Problem and Project Description USS Cod Submarine Memorial a National Historic Landmark on Cleveland’s North Coast Harbor 1201 N. Marginal Road Cleveland, Ohio Project Description: Have you ever seen a 312-foot long submarine in person before? Have you ever imagined performing your daily school or work duties inside the narrow spaces of a submarine? You can get a better idea by visiting the permanently moored USS Cod Submarine Memorial in Cleveland, Ohio along the North Coast Harbor. Upon arriving to the USS Cod, you will notice that it does not have a proper visitor center. So get your sea legs and your design creativity kicked into high gear. We want you to create a visitor center that will provide flex space to accommodate groups and details and amenities for all ages. The design should consider use by large groups of school children (K-12) or clusters of adults from bus tours, singles and local families, visitors from abroad, current and former military members. The submarine itself houses most of the exhibits. However, the Visitors Center and the submarine should be extensions of one another to tell the story and honor its engineering marvel and the people that were a part of submarine history. Visitors to the USS Cod should be able to enjoy the Memorial site during operating hours of 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., any day of the week, in good and bad weather. Entrants should consider the Cleveland North Harbor weather when designing the exterior spaces.

  • An Administrative History of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (Introduction)
    The Pictured Rocks: An Administrative History of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (Introduction) Pictured Rocks An Administrative History INTRODUCTION One hundred years ago the north woods region of the American heartland was largely in private hands. It was the center of a rich and prosperous lumber industry, an important component in the national economy. Immigrants from foreign lands were drawn to the developing region by its abundant jobs and readily available land. One of the most remarkable, if little appreciated transitions in the history of American public lands, was the repossession of this region by government land managers during the century which followed. The administrative history of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore can only be understood in the context of a trend which saw the evolution of county, state and federal parks, forest, and game reserves in the Great Lakes region and the transition of the area from a forest products economy to a tourist destination. [1] The National Park Service was the last of the public agencies to turn its attention to the north woods and its problems of resource management and economic development. Isle Royale, the first national park in the north woods region, was established in 1941. Local efforts to establish parks at Indiana Dunes and Apostle Islands were frustrated by a federal establishment that failed to see the recreational potential of the inland seas. It was only with the Great Lakes Shoreline Survey in 1958 and the federal government's expansive approach to regional redevelopment in the early 1960s that the National Park Service became a force in the protection of Great Lakes landscapes.
