The Farm Education and Innovation Barns are planned to accommodate combined programs of agriculture with more innovative offerings such as Makers Spaces and flexible areas to accommodate hands-on STEM programs such as MIT FabLab F.I.R.S.T. offerings.  The barns are located adjacent to the Camp's signature farm and dining facilities, which offers opportunities for flexible farm-to-table dining and other special events.
Other rotating uses of the barns include shared use of industrial shops to accommodate summer-long boatbuilding projects and projects that allow Campers to produce permanent and rotating installations for the camp at large. 
The Farm Education and Innovation barns were planned as part of the Camp Burgess and Hayward Master Plan, completed by HMA in 2014.
