DEAN'S MESSAGE  

One of the distinctive characteristics of an education in the UNL College of Architecture is our focus on developing leaders in architecture design and planning; and in integration, innovation and collaboration. We have a rich history and tradition of leaders – leaders of firms, organizations, teams and communities. Examples of leadership are abundant in the college, administration, faculty, students and staff. What is it that defines the qualities of good leadership?  More

Last week was a week full of exciting events for Interior Design students. Nate Bicak and his IDES 301 Material Application students toured Yankee Hill Brick Company and had the opportunity to learn about the qualities of brick, its application in the built environment and the manufacturing process of bricks. The tour aligns with course objectives related to material quality and its effect on the atmosphere and experience of space, as well as attaining awareness and knowledge of material manufacturing and assembly methods.
