| A 640 acre campus with temporary shelters built in 1970 on the eastern plains of Colorado. The canvas and wood shelters served to provide space for the development of core courses in integrative studies using land and the environment as reference points for study and research. The programs were initiated by the Wright-Ingraham Institute to counter the fragmentation found in education. Major universities throughout the country provided faculty and cooperated with the Institute to develop a series of programs.
In 1981 the field station was named the Richard T. Parker Center for Advanced Study and Research. Schematic plans for a facility, called the Technics Laboratory was designed by Elizabeth Wright Ingraham and members of the Wright-Ingraham Institute staff. This facility is designed to serve 150 onsite faculty, students and members from the interested public with programs that contribute to improving environmental knowledge. Both actual field experiences gained from the eleven years of collected data and virtual reality computer programs are anticipated. The programs are presently on maintenance hold
