Studio Cleanup

As you know, during the winter break, the studio spaces will be cleaned by the custodial staff in preparation for the spring semester. Students are required to assist in the effort by cleaning their studio space before they leave studio for winter break (by MONDAY, DECEMBER 20th).
All students are required to take ALL personal materials home over the winter break.
1)    No items may be left or stored in studio over the break.
2)    Your studio should be completely cleaned before leaving for break (by MONDAY, DECEMBER 20th at the latest).
3)    Please be sure to carry large items that students do not want to the trash!
The only exception to this rule will be for the THESIS students. Thesis students may keep their materials in studio over the break – all items must be removed from the floor and stacked neatly on their desks to allow the custodians to clean the space.
If you have questions about this, please do feel free to reach out to Stephanie.

COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING
Master of Community and Regional Planning students presented their Syracuse Downtown Revitalization Plan to the stakeholders and general public on Nov. 15, 2021. Over 35 participants attended the public meeting and cast their votes for the proposed priorities for downtown revitalization. The students Nabhan Al Hajri and Ryan Kendall introduced the planning process, the planning goals and key recommendations of the downtown revitalization plan. Students Kristen Ohnoutka, Jacob Schlange, Mohamed Gibriel and Sean Nedabylek contributed to the plan development and the public event. This plan establishes a defined extent of the downtown business district, evaluates the physical condition of downtown Syracuse and establishes goals and recommendations to foster local economic development and create a center for community activity.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Just back from the national ASLA convention and CELA Board meeting in Nashville. I got my fill of ‘hot’ chicken, the local Nashville food, and interesting insight into current thinking in the field. The ASLA introduced their new mission statement
“Empowering our members to design a sustainable and equitable world through landscape architecture.”
In support of this mission, the organization released the new Strategic Plan that includes sections including “Community,” “Connection,” "Innovation,” "Scale,” and “Voice.”  More-
