Miami faculty, students, and community partners celebrate pavilion project at Hueston Woods
Miami University Professor Helaine Alessio, students in her capstone course, and local volunteers recently helped complete a new pavilion at Hueston Woods State Park. Supported by a $10,000 grant from the Oxford Community Foundation, the project brought together Miami faculty, students, Hueston Woods staff, private donors, and community members, including Greater Oxford Community Foundation board member Debbie Ross. Completed in October 2024, the pavilion now serves as an outdoor classroom, gathering space, and venue for community events.
The public is invited to celebrate at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, May 21 at 4 p.m., with mountain bikes, trail rides, and refreshments provided by Park Director Katherine Connor.
