Friends, colleagues and former students of three retiring architecture professors, John Only Greer, Roger S. Ulrich and David G. Woodcock, gathered May 10 at the University Club to celebrate the trio’s combined 110 years of teaching, research and service at Texas A&M University. Greer, holder of the Wallie E. Scott Endowed Professorship of Architectural Practice and Management and a distinguished alumnus of the Texas A&M College of Architecture, has served on the faculty since 1962. Ulrich, who is internationally renowned for research informing modern health facility design, is a professor in the departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning and holder of the Julie and Craig Beale Endowed Professorship in Health Facilities Design. He has served on Texas A&M’s faculty since 1988. Woodcock, who joined the Texas A&M faculty in 1962, is the director emeritus of the Center for Heritage Conservation, which he established in 1991 as the Historic Resources Imaging Laboratory.

Researchers from Texas A&M’s Center for Heritage Conservation visited Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay June 6-11, 2011 where they employed sophisticated surveying equipment to collect data that will be used to create detailed 2- and 3-D models of the island and its historic structures for documentation purposes. With the help of students from Chico State University and the National Park Service, Professors Bob Warden and Julie Rogers, CHC director and associate director, used a total station, a tool that employs a laser distance meter to scan and record imaging data that, when entered into computer-aided design software like AutoCAD, yields accurate, highly detailed structural models. Warden said the project was undertaken at the request of the NPS to demonstrate the types of historic imaging services performed by the CHC, how it could benefit their agency, and as a precursor to possible future collaborations.

The Tulane School of Architecture is proud to announce the successful launch of a new Master of Sustainable Real Estate Development Program. It has been in session with the first class of 18 enthusiastic students since July 2011. The program emphasizes “regenerative” real estate development.  It is built on a foundation rooted in the value of design excellence and the ethic of preserving cultural resources, while empowering students to participate in the development and design fields with the skills needed to address contemporary challenges and opportunities in cities.

Professor Ellen Weiss, Ph.D. delivered a lecture on Robert R. Taylor, the first academically trained African American architect at a symposium honoring the new Robert R. Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science at Tuskegee University. Valerie Jarrett, President Obama’s senior advisor and Taylor’s great granddaughter, was the keynote speaker.

The School of Architecture at Southern Illinois University has been awarded a 100,500.00 sub-grant to support its upcoming partnership with community resource center The Delta Center in Cairo, IL. 

This sub-grant, coordinated by Assistant Professors Shannon McDonald, Laura Morthland, and Chad Schwartz, along with core project founder Professor Emeritus Robert Swenson, is part of a larger 727,500.00 grant awarded to the Delta Center by the United States Department of Labor to initiate a YouthBuild program in Cairo and surrounding Alexander County. 

YouthBuild is a community-based alternative education program that provides classroom instruction geared towards obtaining high school diplomas or GEDs along with occupational skills training in the construction industry for at-risk individuals ages 16-24. 

Amongst other responsibilities, the School of Architecture will provide the YouthBuild program with permitted construction documents for small single family residences generated by SIU architecture and interior design students while studying in a pair of building technology courses being tailored to this partnership. 

A third course, offered in the summer, will give these students an opportunity to spend four weeks in Cairo working side-by-side with the YouthBuild students during the construction process.  In addition, the faculty involved will be providing services to the program that include mentorship for women in the profession and LEED accreditation expertise.
