The City of Austin is looking to residents to generate ideas for the Seaholm Power Plant Intake facility.
The Parks and Recreation Department and Austin Parks Foundation have launched a design ideas competition for the Austin facility, which served as the pump house for the power plant that closed in 1989.
Design professionals, students, artists and collaborative teams are invited to submit their vision for what should be done with the facility and the surrounding land. The competition registration deadline is May 3.
The top 10 designs will be picked and displayed online and at Austin City Hall. Following feedback from the public and City Council on the 10 designs, three finalists will be chosen and given $5,000.
