On Friday, over 120 high school juniors and seniors and guests participated in events throughout Architecture Hall for Open House. Thank you to everyone who made this such a memorable and influential event in these students' lives!
A recent World Economic Forum post cited that "our addiction to screens is damaging more than our health" - this is an interesting short video found here.

Let’s Celebrate! The National Park Service turned 100 this year and landscape architects have and continued to play a significant role in the design, implementation and management of this great park system. Yellowstone National Park, dating back to 1872, preceded the National Park Service, which was established 44 years later, on Aug. 25, 1916, to oversee the management of a growing roster of parks. That list now stands at 59, though the National Park Service oversees 411 sites, including national seashores, monuments, historic sites, trails and more. Learn More-

Second year architecture students have been especially busy these past few weeks building PARK(ing) Day installations. The chaos of the final week in Architecture Hall was worth it and I was very pleased with how everything came together for PARK(ing) Day on Friday (more information on the worldwide event here: http://parkingday.org).

What a week! I just want to acknowledge and recognize all the hard work and effort that was put forth in the project presentations and reviews for the 2nd and 3rd year studios. I hope that each group can reflect on the learning and growth that occurred as you completed your first projects of the semester. In addition, it is always great to consider the insight from your reviewers and set new goals for yourself as you start the next projects in your studios. Learn More-

Game Day Reminder
For those of you not familiar with the university's pregame planning, football game days provide challenges in the security of buildings used for academic, research and business operations on City Campus. Many fans would like to use university facilities for breaks, restrooms or sightseeing. Some even see the possibility of accessing our buildings as an opportunity to steal computers, etc. Common practice is that all buildings near the stadium are locked about three to five hours before kickoff. We ask your help in keeping the buildings on City Campus, particularly those close to Memorial Stadium or along the main walkways to the stadium, locked and secured. Please avoid using the building in the hours before kickoff and help us keep unauthorized people out. Thank you,
Owen Yardley
Chief of Police
