Wooden structures with unique designs are created by architectural students to enhance the skating and outdoors experience on the Ramsey Lake skating path
A temporary rest stop. Shelter from the wind. An easy place to sit and tighten the laces on your skates. Those are some of the reasons "ice stations" have become so popular on Sudbury's Ramsey Lake skating path.
For close to 10 years, it has become something of a tradition for the architecture students to create unique wooden structures to be used as resting stations for the skaters. Community members are invited to get out and visit the new ice stations for themselves, which are accessible until March 15, said a news release from the university. Jean-Philippe Saucier, a master lecturer at the school, explained the importance of the exercise.
"Bringing this kind of philosophy of understanding to people and the place and then designing for the community. I think that's a major philosophy but also kind of learning the skill of actually building something and understanding how you put it together so you can draw something that can be built," said Saucier.
