Mizer's Ruin: Transforming Design and Architecture in Rural Nebraska

Professor Jason Griffiths and students from the UNL College of Architecture worked for four years planning, building and finishing Mizer's Ruin, a structure located at Cedar Point Biological Station outside Ogallala, Nebraska. The micro dwelling is constructed almost entirely out of eastern red cedar trees that came from less than a mile from the site. This process allows the structure to sequester carbon at a high rate. Mizer's Ruin will soon be available for guests and faculty.
