What:
Our Fall Conference will focus on facilitating change in the designed environment by providing local educational field trips, a campus sketch crawl, and presentations on current campus and municipal planning strategies and therapeutic concepts for park and facility planning. We will investigate how the preparation of a master plan can facilitate change over an extended period.
The VA ASLA 2015 Professional and Student Awards Banquet will wrap up our conference Saturday night. All events will be held on the Virginia Tech campus. Look for conference details soon. We look forward to seeing you in Blacksburg September 18-19.
