Congratulations to our high potential EOP students on their completion of their residential bridge experience. Our convocation took place on Sunday, December 3, 2017. Back in the summer of 2016, most of these students were admitted to our campus by EOP as "special-admit" freshmen. This means that CSU rejected these students due to their low grades in high school, but EOP leaders recognized their high potential. For a summer plus three semesters, EOP leaders provided support services, especially mentors, to help these students develop their potential. These students have proven to be high-achieving individuals.

"Being no longer the 'Circle' in common parlance, the people are coming to adopt the Italian word "plaza" as a distinctive and euphonious name."
"The monument commissioners would have placed the years of the civil war in the spaces, except that the war covered five years, 1861, 1862, 1863, 1864, and 1865. It occurred to them then that it would be fitting to memorialize the years of the civil war by the dates, 1861-1865, and the Mexican war by the dates 1846-1848. This caused the outburst of indignation against the commission on the part of the Grand Army of the Republic, which prevented the unveiling of the crowning figure as a part of the program of the recent National encampment held in this city. The program was made to ignore the monument as much as possible."

Construction is nearing completion at Sac City's new Mohr Hall replacement building.
---
Sacramento City College is the oldest higher learning institution in the Los Rios Community College District and the Sacramento region. Built in the 1960s, the former Mohr Hall was a single story building on a prominent corner that differed from the rest of the campus architecture and occupying the space of two potential buildings. It housed the Physical Science and Nursing programs and had several deficiencies that could not be readily corrected. Our challenge was to create an interior environment facilitating modern lab, teaching and student gathering spaces with an exterior aesthetic responsive to the architectural vocabulary already established on campus – two stories, brick, concrete, and terracotta clay tile. The new Mohr Hall occupies the western portion of the existing site, leaving space for a future two-story building to the east.
The new building incorporates passive solar features such as deep overhangs and vertical fins to help shield from low sun angles. A series of outdoor gathering spaces and landscape features better connect with the existing circulation of campus. The centrally located building entrance incorporates a feature donor wall and benches using wood reclaimed from trees on site. Just outside the geology lab is an outdoor learning space that incorporates a rock garden from the colleges’ vast specimen collection.
Student gathering spaces are located on both floors, designed to allow students to casually interact with each other and faculty. Lab spaces are located on the east side allowing for access to the courtyard and outdoor spaces, including those utilized by allied health students for training.

Receba got his SHeyes today! And his Dollmore boots! I'm so excited, he's really coming together. Today and yesterday were heinous but this is the one good thing to come out of it.
In 1994, LUC began work on the Eden Project in conjunction with Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners, SKM Antony Hunt, and ARUP. LUC was the landscape designer and masterplanner of the internal and external landscape at Eden, “the living theatre of plants and people”.
The Masterplan design started with observations about the former nature of the site as an active china quarry. The zig-zagging paths seen today echo the old haul roads from the china clay extraction, and the levels and spatial arrangement were planned to bring legibility to the site. The masterplanning design process meant bringing everything together into a coherent design, as well as solving technical problems such as stability and drainage. The resulting landform is sculptural to accommodate the scale of the architecture and designed to minimise man-made slope stabilisation.
By the project’s completion the space had been transformed into one of the UK’s most popular visitor attractions and a leading educational botanical resource. The Eden Project has reinvented how a botanic garden works, what it is for and who it needs to reach. While working on the project, we collaborated with a number of professionals – from horticulturalists and soil scientists to sculptors and artists.
It was a dream project for a landscape architect, and we’re proud that it’s recognised as one of the most exciting projects of the last 100 years.
