About DEN’s BARKitecture Dog House Competition
DEN in partnership with the Dumb Friends League is hosting a solar dog house competition in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon. DEN’s competition challenged local design and architecture firms to design and construction a solar dog house using a member of DEN’s Canine Airport Therapy Squad (CATS) program as inspiration for the design. There are 15 dog houses available for viewing on DEN’s plaza until Oct. 9 and one located in the Jeppesen Terminal that was designed by DEN employees.
