Robin Wilder received the Danish Institute Design Excellence Award for his multi-modal urban link concept and Eleanor Reinhard received an Honorable Mention in the AIA NW & Pacific Region’s annual graduate student design competition for her New York City American Dream Memorial concept. Students Andrea Duroux, Chelsea Holling, Thresea Lindenau, Jessica Proctor Urvi Shah, Hannah Stroebe and Kate Tilleman took second place in the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) national Peterson Prize competition for their series of drawings titled Drawing on the Cultural Landscape-Lessons from Ordinary Buildings.

In terms of outreach and engagement. • Students in the Community Design Center last year complet- ed the Paradise School Adaptive Reuse in Paradise, Montana and the Dawson Community College Master Plan in Glen- dive, Montana. • The Second Year architectural studios worked with the Billings Architectural Society and the East Billings Urban Renewal District to develop design strategies for mixed use affordable housing in East-central Billings. Over 50 students entered the Billings Architectural Society design competition and four students won awards for their projects. • Internationally, for the third consecutive year, our students continued to design and build for villages in Zawiya Ahansal, Morocco. This past summer students worked with the wom- en of Aguddim to design and construct a wash station where washing can remain a social activity but protected from the elements and without polluting the local stream. The School of Architecture continues to have approximately 45% of our students study abroad each summer. Twelve students entering the fourth year spent this past summer in our Rome studio and eleven studied in New Zealand and Australia. This past year, as always, AIA Montana and its members have been extremely generous in providing support to our program and our students through scholarships, networking, employment opportuni- ties, mentoring, facility enhancements and leadership opportunities. This year scholarships totaling $4,500 were awarded to Kelly Olinger, Marley Robb and Jennisse Schule. AIA Montana’s support of our AIAS chapter has allowed our students to actively engage in our profession and represent Montana and Mon- tana State University at the regional and national level. AIA Montana plays an important role in the success of the School of Architecture and we greatly appreciate the generous support provided throughout this and every year.
