I’m excited to share with you two recent updates regarding the College of Architecture that were approved at the April Board of Regents meeting. As you may know we submitted a proposal for phase two of our construction project which involves an expansion of the Architecture Hall West building with the demolition of the current stacks, and its replacement with 14 new studios. Other phase two changes include additional student collaboration areas, classrooms, a materials library, a virtual reality lab, a spray booth, maker spaces, more faculty offices and the relocation of the Geographic Information System (GIS) Lab to the first floor. The project is anticipated for completion in the fall of 2023. More information on the two phased construction project can be found here.

This past week our Hyde Speaker, Andres Jaque, offered an interesting perspective relative to the meaning of the built environment when you expand your gaze. His central argument was that all things need to be understood as a more complex assemblage. That the ideal, is a lessor representation of what is actually present. He suggested, for instance, the impact of material selections is something more when considering the effort and impact required to extract and manufacture the end product. More-
