Earth Pod
Earth Pod, will create an inviting, cool refuge throughout the year. The pod structure provides the perfect trellis for a combination of climbing plants selected by Wichita State University botanists. The exterior will change with the season—from spring green to blooms to deep green to fall color.

Wichita State University's “Pods” provide a visual identity and new hang-out spaces along the East Mall that runs from the Experiential Engineering Building to Braeburn Square. Each of the themed pods, designed by Wichita artist and WSU employee Brady Hatter, stand 16 feet tall and provide seating for 6 people with a small table in the middle. The pods are made of a steel framework with different materials (acrylic panels, multicolored padlocks and flowering vine) interwoven into the structure.
