Columbia University architcture studenst with town lifeguards chief John Ryan Jr. at the Amagansett dory barn where today's life savers keep their equipment.
The architecture students were tasked by their professor with designing a new life saving station that would accommodate the storage and training needs of a modern life saving station, with an eye to the history of how the 19th century station on Atlantic Avenue was designed and used.
To inform their design of a modern station, the students got a history lesson in the background of the Amagansett Life Saving Station from David Cataletto, a teacher and member of the historic station's board of directors.
