| New Student Group Focused on Inclusion and Diversity
| |
|
The college experience is often made richer by the relationships you build, the friends you make and the things you learn about yourself; for minority students those experiences are often colored by their race, gender or sexual orientation. In Fall 2016, architecture students formed a new student organization to offer support for students from underrepresented groups. The National Organization for Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS) aims to “provide role models to encourage, inspire, and provide a sense of belonging in the field of architecture.” The organization is a student chapter of the National Organization for Minority Architects (NOMA).

Students Explore Interdisciplinary Connections Between Architecture and Health
| |
| At the end of every semester, architecture students pin up their studio projects and formally present to faculty, visiting critics, and peers during design “reviews.” Students in Assistant Professor Kim Rollings’ Social Factors and Sustainability: Effects of the Built Environment on Health course, however, join South Bend community partners for informal group discussions about their community-based final projects. Students collaborate with local community organizations to develop solutions to a real-world problem. Project formats range from design guidelines to community surveys and research reports.

Architecture Students Learn Wood Framing at Barn Raising
| |
|
It isn’t every day a barn is raised inside of a geodesic domed building, but that is exactly what happened recently in the Stepan Center. Students from Professor Alan DeFrees’ Structures, Building Tech, and Historic Construction and Preservation classes learned the foundational elements of historical construction. The barn raising event was an opportunity to gain hands-on experience and see first-hand the construction and structural principles employed in a traditional heavy timber structure.
