The Kaw Pavilion is named for the Kansas River – the watershed in which the pavilion resides – and draws inspiration from indigenous structures of the Kansa (Kaw) tribe, the first inhabitants of the region. Eleven third year architecture students designed and built the shade structure and carved limestone trail markers in four months with no budget – all materials were recycled from waste streams or donated. The shade structure serves as outdoor classroom, meeting space for local groups, resting areas for Burroughs Creek Trail users, outdoor events, parental supervision of playground, etc.
