Big-box retailers are not known for integrating their surroundings into the designs of their stores. Homogenous buildings are built in city after city, county after county, state after state. Those who repurpose big-box stores tend to be more attentive to the world around them. In the backyard of the Head Start school in Hastings sits an abundance of Nebraska's signature crop: corn. Head Start has been able to integrate the adjacent cornfields into its curriculum. Students draw pictures of the corn as it grows and learn from their farmer neighbors.
