Whitney places in design competition
Nicholas Whitney, a Kansas State University sophomore, recently received third place for designing a monument in the Bayer Stone Competition.
Second-year architecture students at K-State's College of Architecture, Planning, and Design, participated in the two-week studio project. The students toured the Bayer Stone signature natural Cottonwood limestone quarry near Cottonwood Falls. They spent a day learning how to work with natural limestone by masons at a Bayer's facility in St. Mary and built stone walls at Bayer's Manhattan plant.
The winning architect, Joshua Perez of Manhattan, will be given an opportunity to develop his design which may be constructed by Bayer stone at the entry to the company's quarry in Chase County.
Whitney is the son of Mark Whitney of Peabody.
