Architecture Seminar Visits NYC

Students from the 7th period Architecture Senior Seminar hopped the China Bus for a trip to New York City over President's Day Weekend.

"We were right in the center of everything, so [the trip] was really great," said Meredith Nuttycombe ('09). "We walked around the city a bunch and went to Times Square at night."

Attending seniors enjoyed a two-night stay at the YMCA, along with visits to numerous NYC landmarks. Students also visited the Moss Holzman architectural firm, which designed the 1980 addition to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

"I think they were wowed by the scale of the architecture, as well as the complexity of the public transportation system," said Mr. Edwin Slipek, Architecture Seminar instructor.

Scott Clark ('09) agreed. "The feel of a big city is just much different than a city like Richmond."

The 8th period seminar took a similar trip to NYC during the last weekend in January. In years past, the Architecture Seminar classes have gone to New Orleans and Miami.
