Students Win Special Inform Design Award

Current fourth year students Meredith Epley, Justin Hershberger, Elizabeth Shoffner, Michelle Shuman, and Katie Spicer as well as recent graduate Nathan Petty (BSArch’04), comprising “Studio Antithesis,” have won an Inform Magazine Design Award from the Virginia Society of the American Institute of Architects in the category of Object Design, for their project “Metablica,” steel tables mounted in the courtyard of Campbell Hall. Upon receiving news of the award, the students expressed gratitude to the numerous faculty members and others who offered advice about the project.

Vernon Mays, editor of Inform Magazine, noted, “The jury was highly complimentary of the project and elected to recognize it with a Special Award, with the understanding that it is student work.”

The award-winning project will be featured in the May issue of Inform Magazine.
