COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING ANNUAL REPORT ACADEMIC YEAR 2008 – 2009

The word is out….

It is a true pleasure to submit this annual report. We have many success stories to report, and we certainly had a lot of fun working on those, but we also had substantial challenges; we all did.

In our February issue of e-cap we acknowledged that “every challenge is an opportunity” and that creative minds are particularly well equipped to take advantage of such opportunities. Today we want to celebrate the fact that in spite of financial uncertainty we have been able to continue to move forward in an aggressive quest to take our college to the next level.

A fundamental move in that quest has been to build a “dream team” for the college’s departmental leadership. Last fall we welcomed Prof. Mahesh Senagala as our new Chair in the Department of Architecture, this summer we have been blessed with the arrival of Prof. Michael Burayidi as our new Chair in the Department of Urban Planning, and before it gets too cold in January we will be joined by Professor Jody Naderi as our new Chair in the Department of Landscape Architecture. I don’t know of any other college of architecture and planning in the nation with a stronger leadership team.

We have adopted the structure of our University’s Strategic Plan and in such a way promote integration and synergy through all our units.

We invite you to review this report and share in our excitement and enthusiasm. This is a great time to be at CAP.

GOAL 0 The College of Architecture and Planning will contribute to the distinctiveness of Ball State University, and develop a unique identity among schools of architecture and planning.

-Building on our Strengths and preserving our Character

-Faculty and Alumni Meetings Through a number of formal and informal meetings, faculty and alumni have been asked to identify the characteristics that make CAP their school and should not be compromised. The most common characteristics mentioned by both faculty and alumni have been our “emphasis on teaching” and our “vocation towards service”.

-Summer College Leadership Council Retreat During our CLC Summer Retreat, in a non-binding environment the current and future leadership of CAP was asked to envision an activity that may illustrate our distinctiveness. Several ideas were proposed. In most cases the following characteristics were considered strengths we could further build on: -Multidisciplinary integration -Community outreach -Internationalization -Technology integration -Scholarship of teaching

-Recruitment of Departmental Leadership

Last fall we welcomed Prof. Mahesh Senagala as our new Chair in the Department of Architecture, this summer we have been blessed with the arrival of Prof. Michael Burayidi as our new Chair in the Department of Urban Planning, and in January we will be joined by Professor Jody Naderi as our new Chair in the Department of Landscape Architecture.

In order to provide additional opportunities for alumni participation in the life of the College in 09-10 we will create Departmental Alumni Advisory Councils in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Planning. At the same time, the College advisory group will be expanded to include external non-CAP advisory members.

GOAL 1 The College of Architecture and Planning will promote academic excellence among undergraduate and graduate students seeking a rigorous learning experience.

ObjectiveA. Attract, enroll, retain, and graduate a more selective and diverse student body.

CAP Summer Workshop for high school students. Michel Mounayar directs the Summer Workshop which has been in existence since 1981, assisted by Melanie Smith. This year Karen Keddy (Architecture) coordinated the workshop and she was joined by Sean Rotar (Landscape Architecture) and Vera Adams (Urban Planning) to run the 2 week workshop in July. Additionally, four undergraduate RAs (resident assistants) represented the three departments: Tyler Cox and Mishayla Binkerd (Architecture), Lauren Petersen (Urban Planning), and Brian Main (Landscape Architecture). Forty- eight students from Indiana and other states (Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois, Kentucky, Connecticut) were immersed in creative problem-solving exercises, lectures, sketching, field trips, films, model-making, and design problems that explored issues in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning.

Introductory lectures to the professions were provided by Paul Puzzello in Architecture, Chris Marlow in Landscape Architecture, and Michael Burayidi in Urban Planning. Tours of our technical facilities were provided by Kyle Seacrest, Jeff Culp, Chris Helms, and Mark Vanden Akker. Several fun activities were included such as movies, an icecream social, volleyball, Pictionary, and a barbeque picnic celebration for the final project hosted by Melanie and Mike Smith.

-The Cripe Architects + Engineers Competition. The Arch 401 design studio combines a design competition sponsored by the Indianapolis firm of Cripe Architects + Engineers with a NAAB-oriented semester-long comprehensive design project. The project for the fall semester of 2008 was a Center for the Environment at Ball State University.

-Mass Transit Studio

Eggink’s graduate students (ARCH501) have come up with more than the most ambitious transit-oriented design concept ever drawn up for Indianapolis. They’ve created a vision for urban renewal that is arguably more compelling than the Central Indiana Regional Transportation Authority’s principal, utilitarian goal of reducing northeast- side highway congestion and air pollution by running a diesel commuter train atop the old Nickel Plate Railroad corridor (IBJ). The work of our students was subject of multiple pages in the Indianapolis Business Journal (IBJ) Focus section.

-The Center for Historic Preservation is an outreach arm of the graduate program in historic preservation and the Department of Architecture at Ball State University. Graduate students work with cities, towns, state agencies, Main Street programs and heritage organizations, using historic preservation as a tool to enhance the built environment, to promote economic development, to strengthen community identity, and to improve the quality of life for Indiana residents. The Center’s goals are two-fold: to provide heritage preservation services to the public, while giving students an immersive education and opportunities for professional development. This year, the Center provided service learning opportunities to six students in the MSHP program through 12 projects in 8 communities across Indiana. These service learning opportunities are outlined below:

• The Center and its team of graduate students produced a series of historic structure reports (HSRs) for some of the historic properties managed by the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites. The HSRs will guide decisions on the restoration, interpretation and maintenance of these structures, thereby increasing the positive outcomes of a visitor’s experiences. Sites studied during 2008-2009 include the Duck Creek Aqueduct and Lock 25 (Whitewater Canal State Historic Site in Metamora) and the Limberlost Cabin and Carriage House (former home of Gene Stratton Porter in Geneva).These projects were funded in part by the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites and in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant from the National Park Service, administered by the Indiana Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology.

• In cooperation with the Indiana Main Street program of the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the Center offered preservation-related technical assistance to three Indiana Communities. In Nappanee, the Center developed plans to help the community enhance the appearance of second-story facades. The final report included condition assessments of second-story windows, recommendations for repairs, and suggestions for interpretive signage that illustrate the history of downtown Nappanee. In Evansville, the Center researched funding options to support recommendations for streetscape improvements that will encourage downtown development. And finally, the local Main Street organization in Greensburg will use the information in a study on real estate development consortiums to start a real estate group focused on the development and revitalization of downtown Greensburg.

• The Center developed heritage tourism recommendations for the City of Noblesville. Like many communities across the Midwest, Noblesville has a rich history and a diverse built environment. The Center’s recommendations will help the community capitalize on that history and develop plans to attract more heritage tourists. Heritage tourism is a fast-growing field, as travelers increasingly seek authentic destinations with a unique sense of place. Well-planned heritage tourism plans, such as the one the Center developed for Noblesville, can lead to substantial economic development.

• The Center surveyed “Old Town” Carmel for the Carmel-Clay Historical Society. The area surveyed included both commercial and residential buildings from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. The survey results documented the community’s historic resources and will be used to advocate for the preservation of those resources.

• The Center received a grant to produce and print “Preservation What: A Primer to the Practices and Players of Heritage Preservation.” The project was made possible by an Historic Preservation Education Grant from the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, the Indiana Humanities Council, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The booklet will be distributed at conferences, workshops and community meetings to educate local citizens about the values of historic preservation.

• Finally, the Center completed a preservation plan for the Houck House, a mid- 1800s brick I-house located near Centerville. The final report documented the building’s current appearance and condition, and made recommendations for an upcoming restoration and continued maintenance.

Second-year students Emilie Eggemeyer Graduate Assistant James Hall talks to a and Travis Ratermann work together on a community leader in Nappanee about the report while enjoying the peaceful gardens condition of second-floor windows in the of the Minnetrista Cultural Center that downtown. surround the Mary Lincoln Cottage and the Center for Historic Preservation.

-In the framework of CAP’s out-of-campus program;

-CAP Field Trip Week and Summer Study Abroad. This year a substantial number of students of the College traveled to national and international destinations and performed on-site studies. It may be argued that CAP/BSU has the largest design, planning, and construction field trip program in the nation, if not the world. Destinations visited during Field Trip Week include; Washington DC; Seattle/Portland; New York City; Canada; St. Louis; Cincinnati; Chicago, Pittsburgh; Philadelphia; London; San Francisco; Los Angeles; New Mexico; Denver; Columbus; Indiana; Cranbrook; Michigan; and Boston. Summer Study Abroad Programs visited Italy, Spain, and Argentina.

ObjectiveD. Increase the number of nationally ranked or recognized academic and curricular programs.

-In Architecture:

This year for the first time DesignIntelligence has issued a new report that seeks to provide a more comprehensive assessment, The Cramer Report: America’s World- Class Schools of Architecture. I am happy to say that we have made the cut and are listed among America’s World-Class Schools. This report uses multidimensional rankings that are based on five criteria: current ranking, historic 10-year ranking, ranking by academic deans and chairs, overall campus environment & student evaluations, and program accreditation. I think that citation provides us with a valuable talking point (as we work our way to the top 20 list).

We are also ranked among the schools with the highest pass rate in the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). In Pre-Design we are ranked #20, in Mechanical & Electrical Systems we are #5, in Materials & Methods we are #10, and in Site Planning we are #13.

-In Landscape Architecture:

The Bachelor of Landscape Architecture ranks at #8. This year we are searching for a new Department Chair in LA and that will have a positive impact in the 2010 ranking. The Master of Landscape Architecture continues to rank at #5 with Cornell and the University of Virginia. These rankings continue to provide solid reasons to celebrate.

In the section of Landscape Architecture Skill Assessment we show substantial strength in Design (#4 with Texas A&M and University of Georgia), Computer Applications (#5 with Pennsylvania State University and Iowa State University), and in Sustainable Design Practices (#5 with Texas A&M).

-Our Planning Program remains to be ranked 13th (national) on the category of tuition in the range of $6,500 to $10,000 by Planetizen, and 13th of all national planning programs without a PH.D. Program. Lastly, our program was ranked #7 in the category of most international students. In 08-09 the undergraduate and graduate planning programs were visited for re-accreditation. The visit was positive and we expect both programs will be re-accredited.

ObjectiveE. Offer market-responsive and nationally ranked or recognized extended education opportunities that are integrated with on-campus offerings

-The College of Architecture and Planning continues to study the potential development of a constellation of graduate certificate programs to be nested in regular graduate degrees of the College and also offered as stand-alone continuing professional courses. Potential certificates include: Certificate in Historic Preservation. Certificate in Health Support Environments Certificate in Education Support Environments Certificate in Urban Design Certificate in Real Estate Development Certificate in International Practices Certificate in Sustainable Environments Certificate in Advanced Digital Fabrication Certificate in Integrated Practices

-The College has sponsored the creation of a Master of Urban Design Program housed at the BSU Center in Indianapolis. This program will contain a number of courses with potential for delivery in Continuing Education format. Recruitment has resulted in a first group of 10 students that will initiate classes in the fall of 2009.

-The Planning Department has concluded a study leading to the potential development of a constellation of program and degrees in Real Estate Development to be based in Indianapolis. These programs will contain a number of courses with potential for delivery in Continuing Education format. The creation of a minor in Real Estate Development has been completed. Early implementation for 09-10 has been approved.

The Master of Urban Design and Certificates of Urban Design and Real Estate Development will be based at our Indianapolis Center

GOAL 2LARSHIP The College of Architecture and Planning will support and reward faculty and student scholarship of discovery, integration, application, and teaching.

ObjectiveA. Increase the number of quality faculty development opportunities to support high-quality scholarship

-CAP Faculty Symposium (Annex #2) On March 25th CAP held its second Faculty Symposium. That day we canceled classes and our faculty presented papers to an in-house audience of faculty and students. The event provided a forum for faculty to learn more about the Scholarship of Teaching among their colleagues and explore opportunities for building synergy. The presentations included internationally recognized work grouped in several areas of emphasis such as: -Multidisciplinary Education -Early Studio Education -New Educational Paradigms -Digital Technology and Media -Education for a Sustainable Future -Domain Technical Integration -Environmental Revitalization -Pedagogical Explorations

Marvin Malecha, Dean of the College of Design at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, and President of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), delivered the symposium keynote.

Formal publication of abstracts for the Faculty Symposium

ObjectiveB. Expand extramural funding to support scholarship.

-The Council for Research and Creative Endeavors. In the Spring of 2008, CAP created a faculty committee (mainly Directors of Research Centers and Institutes) charged with the development of strategic plans, tactical processes, and general coordination of our research activities.

ObjectiveD. Recognize scholarship of discovery, integration, application, and teaching with implementation defined at the department level.

Given our current limitations for funding faculty travel and release time from mission- critical teaching tasks, we are applying our creativity to the implementation of higher levels of integration between our research and teaching resources. P&T committees at college and departmental level have been charged with the development of faculty fellows and faculty mentors programs. This is a well-known model in research intensive institutions that has the potential to work well in CAP.

ObjectiveE. Grow selected graduate programs to support increased scholarship.

Growth of the Master of Architecture Program This program continues to grow towards its enrollment target. Recruitment has been very active during 08-09 and we expect to bring in between 50 and 60 new students in the fall. Our target admission is 60 students for a total program population of 120 students (2-year program). Additional faculty is needed in order to address the full capacity of this program.

Growth and potentially redirecting the focus of the Master of Science in Architecture Program. Initial discussions in 07-08 have continued during 08-09. A new program director has been appointed (Kevin Klinger) and the program curriculum is currently under review by the faculty.

Potential growth of the Master of Landscape Architecture Program. This is a graduate program with good potential for growth based on national ranking (top 5 among MLA Programs according with Design Intelligence Report’ 2008). Growth depends on the availability of additional faculty.

New Master of Urban Design Program. The College has sponsored the creation of a Master of Urban Design Program housed at the BSU Center in Indianapolis. This program will contain a number of courses with potential for delivery in Continuing Education format. Recruitment has resulted in a first group of 10 students that will initiate classes in the fall of 2009.

Objective F. Attract and retain highly productive faculty of national prominence.

All 2008-09 new tenured faculty have strong leadership track records:

Mahesh Senagala (AR) has been appointed Chair of the Department of Architecture. He assumed his duties in the fall of 2008. Previously, he had been the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Research at the College of Architecture, University of Texas at San Antonio. His research interests include smart and sustainable environments, fabric structures, digital fabrication, complex systems, and academic management.

Michael Burayidi (UP) was appointed Chair of the Department of Urban Planning. He assumed his duties on June 1, 2009. Prior to his appointment at CAP he was Professor and Coordinator of the Urban Planning program at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. His credentials include a B.Sc. in Development Planning from the University of Science and Technology in Ghana, a MEDes. in Environmental Design from the University of Calgary in Canada and a PhD. in Urban and Public Affairs (Planning and Economic Development) from the College of Business and Public Administration from the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky. His expertise and professional interests include land use, comparative planning systems, urban economics, and real estate development.

Jody Naderi (LA) was appointed Chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture. She will assume her duties on January 1, 2010. She is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at Texas A&M University in College Station Texas. Her credentials include a B.A. in Fine Arts with an Architecture Minor from the University of Maryland and a M.L.A. from Harvard University. Until her arrival in January Professor John Motloch (LA) will be Acting Department Chair.

We are attracting tenure track and contract faculty from a rich national pool:

Joshua Coggeshall (AR) has been appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture. Joshua received his Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M and his Masters of Architecture from Southern California Institute of Architecture in 1997.

Bruce Race, FAIA, AICP and CAP Distinguished Alumn (UP) has returned to the College of Architecture and Planning as Associate Professor of Practice to help establish the Masters of Urban Design program in Indianapolis. He is pursuing his PhD at Cardiff University in the UK with a research focus on climate action plans.

GOAL 3EMENT The College of Architecture and Planning will address local, state, national, and international needs through activities that foster collaboration and mutually beneficial relationships with its diverse constituents.

ObjectiveA. Foster and support activities of faculty, staff, and students that have the potential to lead to enterprising ventures.

-We are in the process of studying the possibility of delivering (as an export function) graduate certificates via digital networks into emerging graduate programs in Latin America. The first step will be to call for a summit of Latin American Deans of Schools of Architecture at Ball State University in April/May of 2010.

ObjectiveB. Offer market-responsive educational, cultural, and economic development programs that meet the needs of external partners.

-The College of Architecture and Planning continues to work in the development of a constellation of graduate certificate programs to be nested in regular graduate degrees of the College and also offered as stand-alone continuing professional courses. Progress is being made in the following: Certificate in Historic Preservation. Certificate in Health Support Environments Certificate in Education Support Environments Certificate in Urban Design Certificate in Real Estate Development Certificate in International Practices Certificate in Sustainable Environments Certificate in Advanced Digital Fabrication Certificate in Integrated Practices

ObjectiveC. Expand the success and reach of Ball State’s Building Better Communities (BBC) initiative, dedicated to expanding economic opportunities and advancing quality of life in communities across Indiana.

CAP is nationally renowned and awarded for its work with Indiana communities. Community-based design and planning defines CAP's national image and reputation. This tradition has been brought about by the dedication of CAP faculty completing over 300 community-based projects. CAP has several faculty experts with over a100 years combined experience in the area of community-based design and planning. CAP's impact on Indiana communities may be measured in the millions of dollars including 0.8 million dollars project renovation for Beech Grove Indiana, a new multi-million dollars waterfront for Jeffersonville Indiana, a new Plaza and civic tower for Elkhart Indiana. Most recently CAP, working with BBC, contributed to the redevelopment of the Goshen millrace and the comprehensive plan of Reynolds, Indiana. Over the years CAP graduated hundreds of professionals that rely on expertise gained from participation in Community-Based Projects (CBP). Such highly specialized expertise has been developed through years of field testing and innovation. Community-based design and planning requires distinctive graphic and public communication skills including knowledge of small town community design, planning, political, social, economic, and government networks.

In addition to CAP’s Community-Based Projects Program, our Center for Historic Preservation, and Land Design Institute generate a substantial amount of outreach activity that needs to be better coordinated in it’s interface with BBC. In order to provide better articulation between CAP’s outreach efforts and the Office for Building Better Communities we have been working in the development of a CAP Outreach Alliance of Centers and Institutes that may better interface with BBC.

Professor and Associate Dean Michel Mounayar has been appointed Coordinator of the CAP Outreach Alliance. Initial coordination meetings have started to take place. At the time of editing this report, Prof. Mounayar coordinates all interaction between BBC and CAP faculty.

Organizational diagram that describes the articulation of CAP’s outreach efforts through an alliance of related centers and institutes.

ObjectiveD. Lead Indiana in authorizing charter schools and be the premier resource supporting the success of all charter schools.

-With a grant from the Business Fellows Program, Associate Professor Pamela Harwood Continues to teach a studio on charter schools; the work of her students has been exhibited and written about in the newspapers of several Indiana communities. Her initial success has resulted on a 3-year funding stream that will continue to make her work possible.

ObjectiveE. Provide working professionals in Indianapolis access to professional development through graduate programs, skill enhancements, and facility access.

For the second time, our 2008 Guest Lecture Series and the presentations of our CAP Faculty Symposium were subject of live-webcast to our alumni and the membership of the Indiana Construction Roundtable (ICR).

On-line repository of all CAP Guest Lectures available on streaming video

Through our leadership in professional organizations, as well as our infrastructure and personnel in Indianapolis, we facilitate continuing professional development events that serve our alumni.

GOAL 4UNITY The College of Architecture and Planning will improve the university community’s quality of life.

ObjectiveA. Increase student, staff, faculty, and family participation in a coordinated wellness program.

-Lickety Split For over 30 years it has been a CAP tradition that on the last week of the spring semester, students, faculty, and staff gather at the residence/property of Professor Rod Underwood for an afternoon of congenial volleyball games. We are looking forward to further promote the participation of faculty and staff teams that may for that purpose establish a year-around training program.

The end-of-semester event is a blend of volleyball championship (1979) and picnic (2008)

ObjectiveB. Create a service-oriented campus culture in all units.

-The Faculty and Students of CAP participate in a number of service-oriented programs. The following programs have been active during the 2008-09 academic year: -Community Based Projects, -Habitat for Humanity, and -Freedom by Design: It’s the focus of their work to help the Muncie, Indiana, community. The members of Freedom By Design, a group affiliated with the campus chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students, use their skills and energy to help elderly or low-income Muncie residents who have difficulty getting around their homes.

CAP students of Freedom By Design, at work.

ObjectiveC. Achieve greater success and recognition in extramural athletics and academic competitions.

Our students are constantly engaged in design and planning competitions in which they frequently achieve substantial recognition. These happenings are reported constantly but we do not have a systematic way of collecting data. We are in the process of structuring a process (largely through filtering the content of departmental newsletters) for collecting and reporting this information.

As an example, in July of 2008 five CAP students where invited to present their Digital Fabrication work as part of the ninth edition of the BEYOND MEDIA festival in Florence, Italy, the SPOT ON SCHOOLS exhibition explored the didactics in the field of architectural design and of the new media of communication, while focusing on the most recent development of the use of digital technologies for design research in the field of education. Invited to show work at SPOT ON SCHOOLS, i.M.A.D.E installed various exhibit pieces on the mezzanine in the Stazione Leopolda, including Morpholuminescence, Bodhi Tree, and Veneer Luminaires.

The Bodhi Tree Morpholuminescence

Comprised of custom laser-cut “petals”, “stems”, and hinges, Morpholuminescence was pre-assembled for testing prior to shipping in pieces. Petal movements and LED hue variations were driven by Arduino microcontrollers via data from proximity sensors. Assembled completely on-site and illuminated with spot lighting, the Bodhi Tree required laser cutting of over 10,000 components from hardwood veneer. The Luminaires were also constructed on-site from hardwood veneer along with lightweight acrylic armatures and fluorescent lighting.

In addition to the show, Kevin Klinger and Mahesh Senagala were invited to speak about the work at the simultaneous symposium. Senagala’s presentation related to the pedagogical goals of “An Inconvenient Studio” and the resulting student-made prototypes, including Morpholuminescence and Arcus Animus. Klinger’s talk centered around the topics of digital fabrication and material effects, with examples of projects from innovative professionals from around the globe and from i.M.A.D.E including Bodhi Tree, reBarn, SmartScrap, and the MMFX Exhibition (all described in print in the exhibition and catalog).

ObjectiveD. Increase diversity of student, faculty, and staff populations and enhance the climate supporting diversity.

We have been extremely successful in attracting a very diverse group of faculty into leadership positions in every department (in addition to the college).

Dean Assoc. Dean Chair AR Chair LA Chair UP Peru/Holland Lebanom/USA India/USA Canada Ghana/USA

In our last recruitment cycle for our common CAP freshman year we have achieved 14% minority enrollment. This has been our highest minority enrollment ever.

ObjectiveE. Plan and execute new construction and renovations of campus facilities to best support learning, scholarship, institutional effectiveness, and quality of life.

-In 2007 the Institute for Digital Fabrication purchased a new 5-axis CNC Router that needs to be properly housed in the AB building in articulation with our design studios and other fabrication resources. Currently we do not have the space for putting this new piece of equipment in service but we do have an area of expansion that is ideal for this purpose. The area of reference is currently used as an open-air service patio that is a source of constant concern due to its lack of security and appearance. The area of reference could house the new CNC Router, do so next door to our current workshop area (ideal in terms of consolidation), and at low cost since most of the surrounding walls already exist. The following images illustrate the location and the nature of the proposed expansion.

CNC Router in storage Location

Proposed enclosure Open-air service patio

-We continue to conduct studies on the potential retrofitting of our building with the objective of reducing substantially its carbon footprint or even take our building off the urban energy grid as a demonstration project. Originally designed as a solar building, AB is already perceived by many as a sustainable building.

-In 2008-09 we have continued to develop a concept of “Living-Room” within the college. These are some of the new additions to that concept in our atrium, hallways, and offices.

Atrium First Floor Atrium Second Floor

First Floor Hallway Basement Hallway

-We have continued to expand areas for the display of flat media and celebration of our collective.

Extension of Display for Distinguished and Outstanding Alumni Recognitions

Objective F. Increase the vitality of campus social and cultural life.

-The students of the Department of Architecture have continued to publish an annual issue of GLUE. The 2009 edition of GLUE shows substantial improvement on the quality of the content and editorial work of the students (largely due to the mentoring work of Professor Mahesh Senagala, Chair of the Department of Architecture).

-The vitality of our building has been considerably increased by the addition of a Baby Grand Piano donated by Professor German Cruz (currently located in our first-floor elevator lobby) and a Ping-Pong table donated by Professor Michael Burayidi (currently located in our basement atrium section). Both are constantly in use by our students and faculty.
