The winning design, by second year architecture student Lacey Aley, was installed and is available for public use May 1st-7th.

5 7:30 PM | The Octagon (92 E Broadway) Local woodworker Tom S. Clark of Divine Light Altars shows beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces at the Octagon, a space belonging to the American Institute of Architecture.
