DEAN'S MESSAGE

Enjoy the Process

It was fun to share some food and frisbee with you all last week and the weather was perfect! Thanks to the SAB for making that happen. Today, the excitement, anticipation, and maybe even anxiety is palpable as we enter final review week and finals week. My hope is that you can harness the energy and frenetic vibes that are in the building, amongst your classmates and within our faculty and put it toward your purpose this week. My encouragement to you is to enjoy the process and press on to the finish line.

Good luck and make it a great week!

Studio Cleanup



All students using studio space this spring must clean your studio BEFORE you leave for summer break. Studios must be completely cleaned out by Tuesday, May 16, by 8 pm.

All students are required to take all personal materials home over the summer break. 

1) No items may be left or stored in studio over the break.

2) Your studio must be completely cleaned before leaving for break by TUESDAY, MAY 16,  by 8 pm at the latest.

3) Please take any materials/models/trash that do not fit in a trash bin down to the large trash bins. There will be large trash and recycling bins located on the South Side of the building beginning Thursday, May 11.

4) Carts – We are currently looking at having carts available for checkout to help move large materials to the trash or to student cars. More info will be sent out about this soon.

5) Guidance on parking while you are moving items out of studio: The best option would be for students to plan on moving their items out of Arch Hall from 5 - 8 pm during the week of May 8 – 12, or on Sunday, May 14, between 1 pm and 5 pm. After 5 pm the faculty/staff have mostly left for the day and that would open the Area A on Stadium Drive. The students could also park in the Area A by Westbrook Music Building, this is a little farther away. Students will need to park in designated parking stalls. If students park in ‘no parking’ zones or areas that are marked, you still have the chance of getting a ticket.  

If you have questions about this, please do feel free to reach out to Stephanie Kuenning.

*** Print submissions are accepted 24/7 by filling out a print form located outside of the Media Center Door submitting through the mail slot. ***

*During high-volume times, the Media Center door may close at 6 pm to process prints submitted before the same-day completion cut-off time.*

Regarding final review printing, due to anticipated higher volume of printing for finals, we are asking students and faculty to submit all prints no later than 24 hours prior to the crit and before 6 pm to guarantee prints are done on time. 

Any prints turned in and paid for before 6 pm will be available the same day or available for pick up in room 21 after hours (barring unforeseen circumstances). Anything turned in after 6 pm is not guaranteed until the following day.

As a friendly reminder, any student with a Papercut account can print to the Arch 21 HP 1500 color plotter, Arch 21 Color, Arch 23 HP B&W and Ricoh 21 printers and use the laser cutters which are all available 24/7 in room 21.



Also, a 24-hour Laser Cutting Reservation schedule is available through the university online EMS system.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Happy final review week!  It is my hope that you feel accomplished and proud of your projects. It is always a great reflective exercise to think about where growth occurred, and how your skills and creative thinking developed over the course of the semester because of your dedication to your education and the learning opportunities provided by our great team of educators. 

Please feel free to come and participate in the final reviews of your peers. It is a great chance to be inspired and learn from one another and from the various topics being investigated across our interior design studios. Second-year studios, taught by Nate Bicak and Sonya Turkman, will be presenting on Monday at 9 am in the Gallery and New Crit Space. At 1:30 pm on Monday, our third- year studios will be presenting in the Gallery and New Crit Space. Third-year studios were taught by Emily Drummy and me. Then, we will close out interior design final reviews with a fourth-year Outstanding Capstone Finalists Exhibit in the Gallery from 10-11:30 am on Tuesday, May 9. This exhibit will feature the work of six interior design students: Noor Al Maamari, Annabelle Nichols, Makena Ninete, Mattie Purcell, Collin Shearman and Grace Vollmuth. Breakfast bites, coffee and informal discussions with the students about their work will occur during this time. If you come and participate you can also provide feedback and cast your vote for the Outstanding Capstone award to be announced at graduation! -Lindsey Bahe
