It's a proud day when your students present their proposals after a semester of research, concept development and design development. These students brought their energy and enthusiasm to studio and it showed in these insightful healthcare proposals to adaptively reuse a local building. Thank you to Alexis (UWSP Facility Planning), Jim (Crystal Fountains Assisted Living), and Steve (Ellis Construction-not pictured) for adding your insights to these presentations.
