Selected division and regional education supervisors from the Department of Education in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (DepEd ARMM) completed a two-day “appreciative team development” workshop from 14 to 15 November 2013 as a preparatory process for the series of project planning workshops that they will conduct under the initiative “Boosting Advancement and Development of Gains in Education.” Facilitated by SEAMEO INNOTECH, the appreciative team development workshop enabled its participants to collectively come up with a process design and implementation plan for the three-day workshops that they will hold under the BADGE initiative.
The sixth edition of the Globethics.net's flagship event, the Global Ethics Forum, was held in Geneva from 25 to 27 June 2015. Leaders, experts and future leaders from civil society, government, religious and academic institutions as well as from the business sector came together to share their learning and experiences in order to take action together to promote responsible leadership.
The Forum welcomed a total of 160 participants from all continents. Over 50 speakers shared their insights in four plenary sessions and 12 workshops, resulting in concrete project plans on the conference topic "Responsible Leadership in Action: The Value of Values." The programme also featured a public evening with a panel discussion, music and a reception hosted by the City of Geneva at the Graduate Institute Geneva. Photographs taken during the Forum give some of the flavour of the event, www.flickr.com/photos/globethicsnet.
"The insights shared focused on both parts of the responsible leadership equation: the personal and the organisational level of value awareness, practice and stewardship for stakeholder needs", commented Professor Christoph Stückelberger, Executive Director and Founder of Globethics.net.
On the personal level, keynote speaker Musimbi Kanyoro, President and CEO of the US-based Global Fund for Women, emphasised the need for empathy towards the people one serves, as well as sharing, celebrating others and accepting failure.
The programme also offered a personal reflection session on the value of compassion and emphasized sharing, openness and gratefulness as core values for the Forum experience.
On the organizational level, the gathering focused on overarching tools like organisational training and codes of ethics, integrated reporting and dialogue; sector-specific tools; as well as problem-specific tools such as those used to address gender equality. Workshops were designed to exchange insights on existing tools and then to create a work plan to build upon them for greater impact.
As well as providing the opportunity to forge and strengthen invaluable relationships between different actors, the Forum's outcomes include a colourful bouquet of concrete plans to foster responsible leadership in organisations, including: disseminating knowledge about codes of ethics; creating access to sustainable jobs and education; enhancing awareness and knowledge about gender ethics; strengthening values-driven responsible investment; improving Africa-China business relations through further dialogue; developing an integrated values-based sustainability toolkit for business; understanding higher education's impact on community; ensuring knowledge exchange on values-based higher education programmes; fostering ethical elections in DR Congo; and advancing responsible resource management in religious organisations.
The 2015 Global Ethics Forum was made possible through the support of the Loterie Romande, the Ville de Genève, the Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust, the Graduate Institute Geneva and Nestlé SA.

The Sunset Beach IRT station gets a touch of red paint. Installation of side guard rails has begun. The Project plans state the completion date of this particular station as 31 March 2010.
Engineers from Fredericksburg based Company A, 116th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 116th IBCT train with engineers from Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 37th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort A.P. Hill, Va. March 6-7, 2015. The training is part of the Army's Total Force Partnership Program that is designed to promote informal leader development and pushes the units to find shared training opportunities and trade lessons learned. Engineers worked side by side on projects for Fort A.P. Hill building trenches and improving roads. 37th Engineer Battalion engineers were able to sign equipment from the Fredericksburg unit to get additional operating time. In exchange, 116th engineers gained valuable training time and experience because the equipment was already onsite and project planning was completed.(National Guard photos by Maj.

An image from my archive matching news of today: due to the sharp decline of truck production Continental AG has decided to cease truck tire production in this Hanover-Stöcken plant by the end of 2009. Car tire production had already stopped in 2007 here.
Continental Moves to Adjust to Persistently Weak Tire Markets in Europe
March 11, 2009
www.conti-online.com/generator/www/com/en/continental/por...
"The project plans foresee discontinuation of commercial vehicle tire production at the plant in Hanover, Germany, with a capacity to date of 1.4 million units, as of December 31, 2009. Some 780 employees will be affected. Production at the plant in Puchov, Slovakia, will, moreover, be reduced by 20%. Together this will lower commercial vehicle tire production throughout Europe by a total of 27 percent."
"Above the podium rise two-storey dwellings with back and front gardens; the room sizes conform to accepted standards and ample storage space is provided in each dwelling. Moreover, these dwellings are planned with a flexibility to cater for any size required from two to six rooms, the gardens increasing proportionately. A normal dwelling, say of four rooms, will have a front and back garden totalling some 325 square feet, which compares favourably with the proportion of garden to each habitable room in many much-esteemed terrace houses in London.
These gardens are, therefore, big enough for growing plants and even small trees and flowering shrubs; they are places where washing may be dried if required, prams can be left in safety and people can sit above the city noise and enjoy a unique view over London. Further, they have the advantage of complete privacy, as they cannot be overlooked by neighbours. The gardens are sheltered from the wind and rough weather by an outer glazed skin which, although permitting the free passage of light and air, can be adjusted to exclude high winds. The home, standing back as it does from the outer skin of the building within its own garden, is protected by two walls from the rigours of the climate; this means a warm house in winter, economical to heat, and in summer a house cooled by a comforting breeze."
Likely a mapping error, this scan shows a proposed blue line route that is likely intended to be the Dartford Tunnel Approach road, planned in the 1930s. The actual proposed route was further west, on the line of the current M25. Or perhaps this was the remnants of a discarded route option?

Behind the successful operation of all agencies within the Australian Government are qualified Project Officers and they are in high demand. Project Officer staff coordinate, direct and oversee the development of projects, or a set of related projects, including managing performance and providing resources and oversight in order to achieve outcomes and benefits related to organisational objectives. These professionals have many duties including the development of project plans, working with various project management teams, in addition to attending conferences and meetings to demonstrate support to various project management teams. A Project Officer must also assess project successes and analyse and report on their potentials and risks and are often required to travel.
All of these tasks take extensive time and commitment and the team at Public Service Resumes understands that busy Project Officers often do not possess the time to work on their own job applications for career change or progression purposes. Professionally completed applications make a positive impression and greatly increase your chances of securing an interview. Therefore, it is important to spend time to prepare a strong application highlighting your skills, experience and abilities and how they meet the requirements of the position. This includes preparing a Resume and Cover Letter tailored to the position, in addition to responses to key Selection Criteria. All Australian Government job applications are assessed on the basis of merit so it is imperative to highlight your key achievements throughout your career.
As a Project Officer, it is important to portray that you know what it takes to determine the details necessary to manage a project through from start to finish. Your interview-winning Project Officer Resume must be a testament to your past accomplishments whilst painting a vivid portrait of your abilities and desire to advance in the Australian Government. This includes demonstrating your self-awareness and positivity in considering and respecting a diversity of ideas and perspectives in addition to possessing the courage to challenge the status quo when it does not service the required outcome. Moreover, as a Project Officer, you need to demonstrate that you are innovative, consultative, resilient and personally accountable for the quality of advice and the delivery of results. Take the stress out of trying to juggle your important project work with your equally important job application by contacting Public Service Resumes to assist. Not only will you be provided with a professional looking Resume but you can rest assured that it will be free of errors, use positive and specific language and clearly portray how well you can communicate thus ensuring a positive impression.
"Financially the undertaking may well prove to be an attractive investment. Rents from the valuable part of the enterprise, which is not housing, can be made to subsidise the cost of homes and repay the interest and principal of a long-term capital loan. No additional cost need be considered for
providing alternative accommodation for families displaced from the building site, as this problem, which is usual in congested cities, hardly applies. As for land—the only land required for the buildings themselves, including private gardens for each dwelling and two acres of local open space to every thousand people, is the goods yard itself, although, adjacent to this, an area must be cleared of buildings and made into parkland sufficient in size to meet the prevailing opinions on density and major open spaces."

"For the inhabitants of High Paddington there are four main entrances to the podium at ground level, each one of which connects with a main road. At two of these entrances, north and south of the site, ample provision has been made for bus stops, allowing several buses at a time to draw up under cover; in addition, there are facilities for relief buses to be garaged ready for use if required at rush hours. Apart from these bus stops at the podium itself, only a few minutes' walk from the building there is the choice of three underground stations— Paddington, Warwick Avenue and Royal Oak—and the main-
line railway station of Paddington itself. All these entrances are served with lifts direct to the homes above and escalators to every level of the podium. Apart from public transport, there is, of course, ample provision for people using private cars; the large garages in the podium have access to the main roads around the site and are easily approached by lift and escalator from all parts of the buildings. These excellent and quick connections with all forms of public and private transport mean that far less time and energy need be spent in daily travelling than is usually the case."

nrhp # 93001607- Dealey Plaza Historic District-
Dealey Plaza is bounded on the south, east, and north sides by 100+ foot (30+ m) tall buildings. One of those buildings is the former Texas School Book Depository building, from which, both the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded, Lee Harvey Oswald fired a rifle that killed President John F. Kennedy. There is also a grassy knoll on the northwest side of the plaza, from which, the House Select Committee on Assassinations determined, based on controversial and disputed acoustic analysis, there was a "high probability" that a second gunman also fired at President Kennedy, but missed. At the plaza's west perimeter is a triple underpass beneath a railroad bridge, under which the motorcade raced after the shots were fired.
Today, the plaza is typically filled with tourists visiting the assassination site and The Sixth Floor Museum that now occupies the top two floors of the seven story former Book Depository. Since 1989, more than 5 million people have visited the museum.
The United States National Park Service designated Dealey Plaza a National Historic Landmark District in 1993, roughly encompassing the area between Pacific Avenue, Market and Jackson Streets and the former railroad tracks. Therefore, nothing of significance has been torn down or rebuilt in the immediate area. (A small plaque commemorating the assassination exists in the plaza.)
Visitors to Dealey Plaza today will see street lights and street signs that were in use in 1963, though some have been moved to different locations and others removed entirely. Buildings immediately surrounding the plaza have not been changed since 1963, presenting a stark contrast to the ultra-modern Dallas skyline that rises behind it.
Over the last 40+ years, Elm Street has been resurfaced several times; street lane stripes have been relocated; sidewalk lamp posts have been moved and added; trees, bushes and hedges have grown; and some traffic sign locations have been changed, relocated or removed. In late 2003, the city of Dallas approved construction project plans to restore Dealey Plaza to its exact appearance on November 22, 1963. As of 2004[update], voters had approved US$500,000 of the $3,000,000 needed.[5]

Islamabad, January 18, 2013 –U.S. Ambassador Richard Olson met today with more than 100 students who have studied in the United States and encouraged them to work hard to make Pakistan a better place. “Education is the key to future prosperity and economic growth,” said Ambassador Olson. “I’m proud that my country has had a role in your education and helped your country, one student at a time,” he told 100 alumni of the Study of the U.S. Institute (SUSI) exchange program. The SUSI program sends students from all regions of Pakistan and a variety of backgrounds to the United States for six weeks to study at a U.S. university. During the reunion, participants discussed their experiences in the United States and how they used what they learned and made plans to develop service projects in their hometowns in Pakistan. “Your country needs you. Devote your time and energy to making Pakistan the country you want it to be,” Ambassador Olson said. “We will continue to support you.” The Ambassador encouraged the students to apply for funding from the U.S. Small Grants program, which awards grants to individuals with promising proposals aimed at improving their communities in Pakistan. He also encouraged the students to remain engaged in their alumni networks, through which they can organize community service projects, plan social activities, and benefit from professional development opportunities. Since 2005, the U.S. Embassy has sent over 100 Pakistani university students from a wide range of backgrounds and locations to the United States to attend the SUSI program. This summer, 32 more students will attend this program. Through SUSI, students gain skills to implement long-term civic and economic changes in their communities, receive leadership training, and participate in community service projects while in the United States. The U.S. Embassy in Pakistan sponsors the largest U.S. exchange program in the world, with over 1,000 students and professionals traveling to the United States each year. More than 10,600 low-income students attend college in Pakistan with the support of U.S.-funded scholarships. In cooperation with the Government of Pakistan, the United States is also helping to establish Centers for Advanced Studies at Pakistani universities focused on energy, water, and agriculture.

k23blogg.skanska.no/ukens-fredagsoppdatering-14/
Jeff Soukup er en av våre kollega fra USA, og han har vært på prosjektet siden januar gjennom Skanska Unlimited.
Han vil oppdatere dere denne uken:
Looking back on my six month assignment here in Bergen, Norway on the K23 project, I have been put into a situation that is outside of my comfort zone in regards to working in a foreign country that conducts language in Norwegian. Prior to coming to Norway, I tried to learn Norwegian, yet the language is spoken very different than it is written.
At first it was a bit overwhelming, yet I quickly settled in and started to notice differences in culture and in construction from the state where I live in the United States (Oregon). As the United States is huge, each state has its own sub-culture. Also Skanska in the United States has approximately 25 business units, so obviously I cannot speak for all of them or know the extent of the business workings and innovation in each business unit. The following are some of the differences that I have noticed during my stay here. The differences that I will mention come from a perspective where I am not stating that these ways are better than the United States or conversely the United States does them better. These items are just different:
- The first main differences that I have seen is the valuing of life outside of work and a promotion of physical fitness and family time. In the United States, we work a lot of hours per week for a prolonged amount of time with little vacation time. The typical company in the United States offers two weeks vacation, which with three and a half years with Skanska, I just got to three weeks this past January. It takes 20 years to get to five weeks vacation (at least with Skanska)! It seems that the Norwegian culture takes the right approach at valuing time outside of work. From what I have noticed, work appears to be more efficient and less stressful due to more vacation time and less work hours on a weekly basis.
- Skanska has an emphasis on self-performing work: In my home business unit in Oregon, we self-perform concrete work. Here in Bergen, Skanska self-performs survey, concrete, and carpentry. This appears to create a competitive edge for Skanska in Bergen.
- Prefabricated building elements: On this project, there has been the opportunity to use prefabricated building elements, which from my experience in construction I have not seen before. I know that the United States does do modulated building components such as modulated apartment buildings that are built into a steel skeleton, yet I am not aware if they do smaller prefabricated items such as the wall elements that have been installed on this project. I am sure we do something similar, yet these elements have been advantageous on saving schedule time for the project.
- BIM 360 checklists: On this project, I have been able to gain some experience in using BIM 360 for use in quality assurance (Kvalitetsikring). BIM 360 is a software that I have not used in the past. We do use BIM 360 for similar methods, yet being able to use BIM firsthand to make checklists for work that is ongoing and being completed in the field has been fun. Using BIM 360 checklists is definitely a step in the right direction into cutting down on the carbon footprint of printing paper and falls in line with how technology is progressing. BIM 360 definitely is needed to progress within the construction industry to save time and money.
- Project plans: This item is a little more detailed, yet another major difference from the United States was how the project drawings were housed and packaged on the project. Back in the United States, typically projects have a package or book of all the project drawings together split by discipline ( for example: plumbing, roofing, electrical, etc.). This is also starting to evolve to be digital copies rather than hard copies, yet they are kept in the same format. From being raised in this form of looking at project drawings, I have found that the method of having individual drawings to be a bit difficult as it is very different than the United States’s approach.

- Cake: On a fun note, Norwegians celebrate with eating a lot of cake, especially the Jordbær & Kiwi cake. For celebrations or recognitions in my home business unit, we typically provide lunches to the staff and/or subcontractors to be recognized.

To conclude, this assignment in Norway has been a wonderful experience full of learning in construction and culture to further my personal and construction growth. This has been the first time that I have lived in another country outside of the United States for an extended period of time. I will miss this project team as they have been very helpful to me and a great group of people to work with.
God helg!

The sixth edition of the Globethics.net's flagship event, the Global Ethics Forum, was held in Geneva from 25 to 27 June 2015. Leaders, experts and future leaders from civil society, government, religious and academic institutions as well as from the business sector came together to share their learning and experiences in order to take action together to promote responsible leadership.
The Forum welcomed a total of 160 participants from all continents. Over 50 speakers shared their insights in four plenary sessions and 12 workshops, resulting in concrete project plans on the conference topic "Responsible Leadership in Action: The Value of Values." The programme also featured a public evening with a panel discussion, music and a reception hosted by the City of Geneva at the Graduate Institute Geneva. Photographs taken during the Forum give some of the flavour of the event, www.flickr.com/photos/globethicsnet.
"The insights shared focused on both parts of the responsible leadership equation: the personal and the organisational level of value awareness, practice and stewardship for stakeholder needs", commented Professor Christoph Stückelberger, Executive Director and Founder of Globethics.net.
On the personal level, keynote speaker Musimbi Kanyoro, President and CEO of the US-based Global Fund for Women, emphasised the need for empathy towards the people one serves, as well as sharing, celebrating others and accepting failure.
The programme also offered a personal reflection session on the value of compassion and emphasized sharing, openness and gratefulness as core values for the Forum experience.
On the organizational level, the gathering focused on overarching tools like organisational training and codes of ethics, integrated reporting and dialogue; sector-specific tools; as well as problem-specific tools such as those used to address gender equality. Workshops were designed to exchange insights on existing tools and then to create a work plan to build upon them for greater impact.
As well as providing the opportunity to forge and strengthen invaluable relationships between different actors, the Forum's outcomes include a colourful bouquet of concrete plans to foster responsible leadership in organisations, including: disseminating knowledge about codes of ethics; creating access to sustainable jobs and education; enhancing awareness and knowledge about gender ethics; strengthening values-driven responsible investment; improving Africa-China business relations through further dialogue; developing an integrated values-based sustainability toolkit for business; understanding higher education's impact on community; ensuring knowledge exchange on values-based higher education programmes; fostering ethical elections in DR Congo; and advancing responsible resource management in religious organisations.
The 2015 Global Ethics Forum was made possible through the support of the Loterie Romande, the Ville de Genève, the Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust, the Graduate Institute Geneva and Nestlé SA.

A variety of fruits and vegetables are included in a typical Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) produce box from Huerta del Valle (HdV), this one prepared by Co-Founder and Executive Director Maria Alonso at the 4-Acre organic Community Supported Garden and Farm in the middle of a low-income urban community, where U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Redlands District Conservationist Tomas Aguilar-Campos works closely with her as she continues to improve the farm operation in Ontario, California, on Nov. 13, 2018.
USDA NRCS has helped with hoop houses to extend the growing season, low-emission tractor replacement to efficiently move bulk materials and a needed micro-irrigation system for this San Bernardino County location that is in a severe drought condition (drought.gov). Huerta del Valle is also a recipient of a 4-year USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Community Food Projects (CFP) grant and a USDA funded California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP). She and her staff grow nearly 150 crops, including papayas and cactus. CSA customers pick up their produce on site, where they can see where their food grows. To pay, they can use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards. The price of a produce box is based on the customerâs income.
Alonsoâs inspiration came from her desire to provide affordable organic food for her child. This lead to collaborators that included students and staff from Pitzer College's âPitzer in Ontario Programâ and the Claremont Colleges, who implemented a project plan and started a community garden at a public school. Shortly after that, the City of Ontario was granted $1M from the Kaiser Permanente Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Zone initiative. Huerta del Valle was granted $68,000 from that grant for a three-year project to increase the scale of operation. The city of Ontario supported the project above and beyond the grant by providing a vacant piece of land next to a residential park and community center. Alonso says that this spot, nestled near an international airport, two major interstate highways, suburban homes, and warehouses, is a âgreen space to breathe freely.â
She far exceeded Kaiser's expectations by creating 60 10â X 20â plots that are in full use by the nearby residents. Because of the demand, there is a constant waiting list for plots that become available.
As the organization grew, it learned about the NRCS through an advertisement for the high-tunnel season extension cost-sharing program. The ad put them in touch with the former district manager Kim Lary who helped Huerta del Valle become federal grant ready with their Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) and System for Award Management (SAM) registrations and connected the young organization to NRCS as well as the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District (IERCD.) Since then, Alonso has worked closely with them sharing her knowledge with a broader community including local colleges such as the Claremont Colleges and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona).
Cal Poly Pomona is an example where education institutions help the community. Cal Poly Pomona Plant Science Nursery Manager Monica Salembier has produced plant seedlings (plant trays) for transplant at HdV for many years. Aaron Fox and Eileen Cullen in the Plant Science department have hosted HdV in their classes and brought many groups on tours of the farm to learn about sustainable urban growing practices.
The shaded picnic tables in the center of the garden have been the site of three USDA NRCS workshops for regional farmers, students, and visitors. The site also serves as a showcase for students and other producers who may need help with obtaining low-emission tractors, micro-irrigation, and high tunnel âhoop houses.â
Alonso says, âevery day is a good day, but especially at the monthly community meetings where I learn from my community.â

Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) is the Departmentâs focal point for the nationâs farmers and ranchers and other stewards of private agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest lands. FPAC agencies implement programs designed to mitigate the significant risks of farming through crop insurance services, conservation programs, and technical assistance, and commodity, lending, and disaster programs.
The agencies and service supporting FPAC are Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Risk Management Agency (RMA).
Natural Resources Conservation Service has a proud history of supporting Americaâs farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. For more than 80 years, we have helped people make investments in their operations and local communities to keep working lands working, boost rural economies, increase the competitiveness of American agriculture, and improve the quality of our air, water, soil, and habitat.
As the USDAâs primary private lands conservation agency, we generate, manage, and share the data, technology, and standards that enable partners and policymakers to make decisions informed by objective, reliable science.
And through one-on-one, personalized advice, we work voluntarily with producers and communities to find the best solutions to meet their unique conservation and business goals. By doing so, we help ensure the health of our natural resources and the long-term sustainability of American agriculture.

2010 I took a one week course in recycled fashion this year with australian wearable art designer Kirry Toose, this vest was the result. One front panel is from an upside down pair trousers, the other front panel is from a mans suit jacket. The center back is a sleve from a womans jacket with a purple tie for decoration. The lining is cut from a mans blue shirt and a purple scarf. I love upcycled fashion and have many more projects planned!

News spread quickly concerning Lily Red's painting intentions. Before the week was out I headed over to make inquiries but found Wayside Cottage deserted for the day. Paint swatches and sketches were scattered about and her pencil roll left unfurled. Perhaps the sunshine outside her window was just to tempting. . . . .
To stabilize the earth's temperature below the 2-degree danger zone, the concentration of greenhouse gasses or GHG in the atmosphere must be decreased from the current 450 parts per million to 350 ppm. This, according to science, will require deep and early cuts of 25-40 percent by 2020 from 1990 levels. The Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement fully supports the 350 ppm advocacy.

Artwork on show in the C19th Studios at the end of year in City & Guilds of London Art School
The Art School’s Architectural Heritage
City & Guilds of London Art School occupies nos. 114-124 Kennington Park Road, a terrace of late 18th century houses, and 19th and 20th century studios built over the gardens behind. The terrace is Grade II listed and stands in the Kennington Conservation Area. The Art School has been on this site since 1879.
The houses at nos. 114-124 Kennington Park Road were built in 1788, as part of the first wave of urbanisation in this area. They were designed as one half of a gateway development to a planned grand square by the builder Michael Searles. The projected plans were never fully realised, and the development of the square was carried out on a much-reduced scale, becoming what is now Cleaver Square. Although originally designed as a middle-class street, the growth of London in the Victorian era and the flight of prosperous families to suburbs such as Clapham and Brixton led to a decline in the area. While the 19th-century occupants of the Georgian houses are unknown, it seems quite possible that they were lower middle or working class.
In 1879, the South London Technical Art College (City & Guilds of London Art School since 1937) moved into nos. 122-124. Its predecessor, the Lambeth School of Art, had been founded nearby specifically to be close to the Doulton potteries, in order to provide art education to local workers (and mainly women). The first studio sheds, located behind nos. 122-124, were built shortly after 1879. These structures, shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1894, had timber truss roofs. Later on, between 1918 and 1939, the Art School expanded into nos. 118-120, and new studios with steel frame trusses were constructed in the gardens behind. No. 116 Kennington Park Road was purchased by the Art School in 1974, while the final property of the six, no. 114, was acquired in the late 1980s, allowing the stone yard area to be developed.
21st-Century Developments
Since 2010, the Art School has embarked on an ambitious programme of renovations and enhancements on its Kennington site. The Masterplan for the project, established under the direction of Alan Higgs Architects, is based on a three-phase delivery:
Phase 1 (2010-2014)
Completed over five consecutive summers, Phase 1 consisted of the renovation and upgrade of the six terrace buildings, including refurbishing some 35 studios, creating the expanded Sackler Library, and improving circulation throughout. In 2012, the Foundation Department relocated to the adjacent 1930s Old Vauxhall Telephone Exchange building.
Phase 2 (2015-2016)
This phase involves the creation of a new entrance for the Art School by inserting a glazed steel canopy structure forming an atrium in the space between the Georgian terrace and the studio buildings. Following ground level works in 2015, summer of 2016 saw continued developments with the installation of the new roof structure.
Phase 3
The final phase will focus on a partial re-development and refurbishment of the studio buildings at the rear of the site, which increase the work spaces for creative practice while protecting the special character and the legacy embodied in its buildings.
