IDA 2024 NOW OPEN -- Early Bird Deadline May 30, 2024
Located between agricultural fields and the Straight River Valley, the design team was struck by the transformative quality of the site which allows travelers the ability to stretch their legs and submerse themselves in a serene wooded river setting.
As one approaches the Safety Rest Area from the parking area, large canted stainless-steel panels reflect the commercial trailers parked in the background while directing the visitor to a portal with direct views to the wooded river valley beyond. A large elevated terrace offers panoramic views to the river valley.
