Backyard Project
A Regenerative Learning Ecosystem
The Bisbee Science Lab is located at 519 W Melody Lane, Bisbee AZ, a property owned and operated by the Bisbee Unified School District. The Bisbee Science Lab, in conjunction with the Bisbee Unified School District, Copper Queen Library, and Bisbee community are working to redesign the roughly 8 acre backyard into a versatile public space. We are thrilled to introduce our Design Team which includes SALT Landscape Architecture, Wilder Landscapes, Creative Machines, and PSOMAS.
