PROJECT PROFILE SIU Carbondale Campus Lake Pedestrian Bridges Challenge Campus Lake of Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIU) is a 43-acre spring-fed lake set amongst woodlands. The lake area is popular for students walking across campus to get to class, and is also the site of many campus-wide events like the Great Cardboard Boat Regatta, the Doc Spackman Memorial Triathlon, Moonlight Canoeing, and fundraising and awareness walks. As part of a lake improvement program in 2014, the university sought to better utilize this functional lake through the construction of an attractive, durable pedestrian bridge. Designers from White & Borgognoni wanted to provide students and faculty with a pathway across the lake where they could take in the beauty of the nature around them.
