It has been about 7 months since architecture professor Michael Hughes and 12 School of Architecture students broke ground on the new outdoor learning classroom for Washington Elementary School. This past week saw their hard work slowed down by the unpredictable weather known to North West Arkansas, but things are looking up; the weather forecast for the rest of the week looks hopeful. We can only pray that the weather forecaster's have it right!
The students currently working on the project are a mix of second to fifth year students as well as new graduates making up the third and final group to carry the project into completion. Though they do earn credit hours for their time and labor they also give up a large part of their summer vacation and shed loads of sweat and tears in the process. All in the hope that their contributions will impact and improve their community.
Something to think about as you drive by Washington Elementary School.

Sounds like you are really having fun learning how to be an architect. I have often thought of going to school for architecture but i chose engineering instead, maybe a little less lab time :) How many different fields are there? Is it just one where they teach you everything or can you specify what you would like to do whether it is houses, commercial work, lights, tables?
