Urban Catalyst News
10 October 2005 - Aaron and Allyson are in Fort Lauderdale, receiving our ASLA Award! We're also preparing for a presentation next week at the Motherhouse in Monroe, Michigan.
27 June 2005 - Exciting
developments in UCA-land! We just received notification that we have been
awarded one of three Awards of Excellence by ASLA (the American Society of
Landscape Architects). Not only did we win our category, communications,
but we were recognized among all types of student projects from this past
year. Yeah! No money with this award, but we get to fly to Ft. Lauderdale
in November to claim our prize.
In news closer to home, the
website is finally updated and the handbooks have been in for almost two
weeks now. We had a mailing party last Wednesday and the first shipments
went out in the mail Thursday morning. If you've requested a book and
haven't received it by the 1st of July, let us know - uca@uca-michigan.com.
Next on the list of things to do: lower-res, print-friendly PDF versions
of the handbook, and perhaps some individual case PDFs as well.
10 June 2005 - Well, it's old
news now, but we didn't win anything at the EPA P3 'science fair' in DC
back in May. But we didn't want to win anyhow -- what would we do with
$75,000? -- so it ended up being a success, in a backwards sort of way. A
pleasant junket business trip all in all.
The handbooks are (finally)
printed and being bound as we speak. Delivery is scheduled for Monday or
Tuesday... which could mean next Friday by the way things are going. The big (30.5
MB) PDF is online though -
hurrah! Look in the Publications
section of our site. We expect to have alternate versions available for download
sometime soon... And CDs at some point...
If you are interested in receiving a
printed (or CD, when it's available) copy of
the handbook, please let us know via e-mail: uca@uca-michigan.com
