Bemis lawn with Bemis Laboratories to the right, home of the Hampton University Department of Architecture.

I almost forgot to show you my January 2013 visit to Hampton University. The semester starts earlier there than at most universities, so I had the chance to visit before returning to Dublin, and while HU classes were in session. That way I could see my students as well as other professors.  I snapped some photos along the way of things that caught my eye….

Everything seemed the same, until I got to the main stair. I never expected to see a big photo of myself mounted in this prominent location!

I caught up with many of my former students. All these folks have travelled with me to Italy: Ed Glover, Alex Taylor, prof. Mason Andrews, and Sharlita Green.

Iroda Karimova said in earnest that she misses my crits! (!?!!??)

One of students garnered a donation of plotters from HP. Way to go!

This is the interior of the new student center…

…with its grande central stair wrapped by a third-floor track for running.

Our campus has such rich history — architecturally, socially, and culturally.

I wandered around campus delivering Christmas presents. Here’s our lovely Trustee House.
