The document describes the winning design submission for a new bench at the Laurel Tree Charter School called "Three Scoops, Three Flavors". The bench design includes a center bench made of urbanite and cement with features like a rock wall and xylophone, and wing benches made of earthbags and ecoladrillo with game boards and a pipe-o-phone. The design scored highest based on criteria like safety, durability, playability, and environmental justice. Maintenance of the bench is estimated to cost $20 annually and take 7 hours. The total cost to build the bench was $1,405 but many materials were donated.
