Dean's Message
Accreditation is important to the programs in the College of Architecture, and each discipline undergoes a rigorous process including self-reflection and developing a report of where certain standards are met within the curriculum and experiences designed by the program. This is followed with a visit by a team of visitors to act as the eyes and ears of the accrediting agency. A visiting team representing the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) arrived in our building early Saturday morning and have been reviewing work, interviewing faculty and students, and investing their time to learn about our Interior Design Program. The work of a site reviewer is rigorous and intense. Our CIDA site visitors will be with us until midday Tuesday, please welcome them when you see them. As a result of this visit, the Gallery and Dean’s Office are closed today so the team can accomplish their work.
Later this week, we are participating in the Glow Big Red event for UNL. Please join us and local professionals for a Cocoa Bar in the Link on Thursday; and help us unlock generous giving by some of our donors by helping us go over our goal of 75 unique gifts. Regardless of the size of gift, once we exceed 75, $2,000 will automatically be donated to our N Fund. This is the fund we use to support students and their learning in many ways!

The Architecture Program is proud to support and encourage travel experiences. Travel opportunities for students and faculty range from receiving awards, presenting papers, conducting research and working on studio projects.
This semester, the ARCH311 studios taught by Emily Andersen, Ellen Donnelly, Jason Griffiths, and Marc Maxey are independently traveling to Phoenix, Los Angeles and Fayetteville. These experiences are an invaluable opportunity to introduce and expose future architects to various scales, spaces and cultures. In addition to student-centered travel, this semester several architecture faculty are traveling to present papers, conduct research and hold workshops.

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
|
Five students enrolled in the Capstone Studio in the Master of Community and Regional Planning (MCRP) Program are working on research topics of interest to planners in the Lincoln/Lancaster County Planning Department. The research topics are relevant areas of study in the process of updating the current Lincoln/Lancaster County Comprehensive Plan (LPlan 2040). Andrew Thierolf, AICP, 2012 MCRP alumnus and long-range planner with the City/County Planning Department, is serving as the professional liaison with the Capstone Studio, which is coordinated by Professor Gordon Scholz, AICP. All CRP faculty are participating as advisors for the student projects.
