The Chapter is designing and will construct a new trailhead access for the Indiana School for the Blind in Indianapolis that will connect the school grounds to the new and popular Monon Rail - Trail. The focal point is a sculptural fountain of three pillars designed by visually-impaired artist Tim Ryan. The second project is the design of an Accessible Sensory Trail at the new Prophetstown State Park near Lafayette, Indiana. Eight projects were presented design awards in two categories during the Awards Luncheon.
