Past Decathlon Experience: Architecture and Construction in 2005

"The Decathlon experience at Maryland is about learning and community. The teams have created community within the school, metropolitan area and globally. The relationships that we have created with artists, alumni, craftsmen and community members have also continued to grow and been a major element in our school’s continued success. Sustainability is more than just technology and saving energy. It is also about creating something that can grow, inspire and prosper into the future for the next generations."
