Student proposal for youth addiction-recovery campus wins 2022 Confluence, Inc. Landscape Architecture Studio Prize

A team of fifth-year Iowa State University landscape architecture students won the 2022 Confluence, Inc. Landscape Architecture Studio Prize awarded by the Department of Landscape Architecture in the ISU College of Design. Olivia Fletcher, from Spencer; Riley Fountain, from Forest Lake, Minnesota; Jordyn Kloss, from Badger; and Abby Schlotfeldt, from Waukee, all in their final year of the five-year bachelor of landscape architecture program, received a top prize of $4,000 ($1,000 per student) with their "YSS Recovery Campus," a project for an emergency shelter and youth addiction-recovery center in rural Cambridge.

The studio prize was established by Confluence, Inc. - one of the largest and most-decorated landscape architecture, urban design and planning firms in the Midwest - to recognize outstanding student work, advance the landscape architecture discipline and elevate the ISU landscape architecture department's profile across the nation.
