Excited to be part of this panel discussion! Resiliency is something we have to routinely design for and how to best evaluate the increased frequency in storm surge, sea level rise, and appearance all need to be evaluated! Join me October 23rd to discuss!

🏛️ South Dakota State University’s campus is 387 acres, and is home to more than 160 buildings. It’s a place where thousands of faculty, staff and students live, work and learn every day. For Facilities and Services, #SDState operates like “a city within a city.” Dozens of workers spend countless hours cleaning, servicing and maintaining campus and its operations. Campus has evolved throughout time and has grown considerably in recent history. According to Facilities and Services, since 2010, 30 buildings have been constructed, enhancing the student experience. New residence halls, academic buildings, athletic facilities and agriculture structures are now an integral part of the SDSU experience. Facilities and Services has also been able to oversee the renovation or revitalization of some of our more historic campus buildings. Recent projects include iconic structures like Lincoln Hall, First Bank and Trust Arena and the Coughlin Campanile. In this episode of “The Yellow & Blue Podcast,” Dave Law, director of project management and engineering for Facilities and Services takes us through campus operations and recent building projects. We also dive into some of the history of our favorite buildings at SDState. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3WJGKdS

Gensler’s Robert B Bradford, AIA, LEED AP, NCARB and Hannah Sargent,AIA say that schools are critical spaces that shape the students that learn within their walls and they’re right.

Join Rob and Hannah as they explore what considerations are necessary in repurposing stranded assets for educational institutions. https://bit.ly/3J0uTAv

Reflecting on an Enlightening Experience at the APA National Planning Conference! Last week, from April 13th to 16th, I had the immense privilege of attending my first APA's National Planning Conference in Minneapolis. As a current Masters student in Regional Planning, this was not only my inaugural planning conference but also a phenomenal opportunity to apply the knowledge I've acquired over my first two semesters! The conference was a deep dive into the core areas of equity, community, and transportation. Each session provided valuable insights into their implementation within the US context, greatly enhancing my understanding and appreciation of the intricate planning processes. One of the highlights was participating in the workshop on "Long Range Planning Implementation in the Midway Neighborhood." It was fascinating to see how planners are navigating the complex political landscape while balancing the needs and perspectives of local neighborhoods and developers, particularly in relation to Transit-Oriented Development goals in the Hamline Midway Neighborhood of the Twin Cities. I left the conference enriched with knowledge and eager for more such academically stimulating experiences. The journey of learning and applying urban planning principles continues, and I am excited about the endless possibilities ahead! #APAConference #UrbanPlanning #CommunityDevelopment #Equity #Transportation #RegionalPlanning

FYI, #Toronto & #Ontario LIF especially, all #Torontonians, #Ontarians, too, please sign & share widely! "'SAVE THE SCIENCE CENTRE' 'Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to enact the following measures: (1) Immediately invest in repairing the current Ontario Science facility where it is currently located (2) Hold and respect community consultations about the Ontario Science Centre's future Will you sign? -- Whereas, the Conservatives' their ‘business case’ that shows the one-time cost of relocating the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place would be twice the cost of completing the necessary repairs at the current site. -- Whereas, moving the Science Centre will take a vital public institution away from Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe Park simply to justify Ford's vanity mega-spa project. -- Whereas, communities have not been consulted about Ford's half-baked scheme. -- Wheras, the business case assumed that the new, half-sized Science Centre would be built on top of a new, publicly funded parking structure located next to the proposed Therme spa. The costs of the parking structure (which has been estimated at over $500 million) were excluded from the business case. -- Whereas, the Conservatives’ ‘business case’ has been called 'all spin,' 'bunk,' 'torqued and twisted to serve the government’s desired result,' and has been identified as having 'clear problems with the province’s math.'" -- Kristyn Wong-Tam, #TorontoCentre #NDP #MPP #TOpoli #GTHApoli #onpoli #cdnpoli #globalimpact

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to reflect on the history of the residential school system. Today, we honour the resilience of survivors, remember the children who never came home, and reaffirm our commitment to reconciliation. In the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction field, the spaces we design, build, and manage directly impact the communities we serve. We hold a responsibility to ensure our practices are inclusive, respectful, and aligned with the principles of reconciliation. At WalterFedy, we are committed to active allyship—whether through continuous learning, integrating Indigenous knowledge into our projects, or supporting initiatives like our Indigenous Engineering Scholarship at the University of Guelph. This scholarship is just one step towards empowering the next generation of Indigenous leaders in architecture and engineering. Today, let’s reflect on how we can strengthen our allyship, challenge inequities, and hold ourselves accountable to building a future where all communities thrive. #NDTR #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters #Allyship

Is it possible to become an architect and an entrepreneur with a severe autoimmune condition? The answer is yes 🚀 David and I met only a few times when I was first diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, a pivotal moment in my health journey. I had always hoped for an opportunity to discuss the condition in depth with him, and after 14 years, I finally got the chance. David, a practising conservation architect in ecclesiastical and heritage architecture from the North-East of England, shares an intimate glimpse into his journey with RA, diagnosed at the tender age of 15. Despite the hurdles, his passion for architecture led him to establish Beaumont Brown Architects, renowned for its diverse portfolio across health, education, commercial, and conservation sectors. In our heartfelt discussion, David opens up about: 👉The early diagnosis of RA and its impact on his personal and professional life. 👉The transition from dreams of carpentry to embracing the world of architecture. 👉The role of medication, adjustments, and accommodations in managing his condition. 👉The continuous support from family, healthcare professionals, and peers. 👉His achievements, motivation, and what lies ahead. David's story is a beacon of resilience, showing us how to navigate life's challenges with grace and determination. Whether you're facing chronic illness or pursuing ambitious career goals, there's inspiration to be found in his journey. 👉 Read our full Q&A to discover how David's determined attitude and innovative mindset have not only shaped his award winning career but also offer hope and guidance to many others navigating their paths through similar challenges: https://lnkd.in/eMbKewBR Let's celebrate the achievements and the unyielding spirit of those among us who, like David, show us that obstacles are just stepping stones to greater heights. #RheumatoidArthritis #Architecture #CareerResilience #InspirationalJourney #HealthAndWellness #InflamMed #ChronicIlnness #NonApparentDisability #AutoImmuneDisease

An upside of post-pandemic teaching is the opportunity to bring in expertise from all over Australia for our tutorials. Last night two esteemed colleagues at CSIRO: Guy Barnett and Tim Muster joined us for a class in Strategic Planning as part of the [Master of Urban Planning and Environment](https://lnkd.in/gpG_Up5G) to describe how their work on [Living Labs](https://lnkd.in/gbpm23Ck) is transforming Darwin, Canberra and Western Sydney. A key question to consider when dealing with wicked problems and the complexity of cities is to what extent is experimentation needed (and to what extent can Living Labs deliver these)? https://lnkd.in/gZ-aBPqp
