Luchini's 'Isabel House' opens at The PrincipiaBy Liam Otten For the architect, private residences often occupy a professional space akin to a painter's drawings or a novelist's short stories, offering the benefits of smaller scale, greater immediacy and a chance to focus on exquisite detail rather than breathtaking scope. That said, Adrian Luchini's 6,400-square-foot "Isabel House" is no ordinary residence. (The house is named for the foundation that funded it.) Luchini, associate professor in the School of Architecture, developed the project with the St. Louis firm Metropolitan Design & Building. |
 Teachers teaching teachers (Left to right) Marsha Blaine of Sumner High School in the St. Louis Public Schools, Deann Meyers from Hazelwood East High School, and Stacey Schoeffel of Roosevelt High of the St. Louis Public Schools participate in a laboratory experiment as part of the Science Outreach Office's genetics curriculum course in July. Fifteen biology teachers partook in "The Gene Revolution: Modern Genetics for All Students." Gary Corbin, outreach program coordinator, was the course instructor and was assisted by numerous University faculty. The genetics curriculum developed at the University, University City High School and other partner schools throughout the 1990s now is being taught to 18,225 students in 22 area high schools. |
 Pardon our dust During this summer's renovating of Givens Hall, home of the School of Architecture, workmen took a humerous extra step to protect a bust of the late George E. Kassabaum, a distinguished architecture school alumnus and former William Greenleaf Eliot Society president and Board of Trustees member, from dust and debris caused by the construction. |
Volunteers sought for Service FirstLabor Day weekend will be taken quite literally by a substantial number of the University's new freshmen class. On Sept.1, more than 800 students will participate in the third annual Service First, an initiative that introduces first-year college students to community service. Faculty and staff also are en-couraged to volunteer for the event. This year, students will be helping clean, update and renovate eight St. Louis Public Schools to help ready them for the upcoming school year. Projects range from painting murals, inspirational messages and playgrounds, to decorating bulletin boards, to gardening and landscaping. Volunteers are needed to supervise and help with projects. Stephanie Kurtzman, coordinator for women's programs and community service, coordinates Service First for the University. "Service First is a great way for us to welcome students to Washington University and introduce them to the St. Louis community," Kurtzman said. "We hope the students become engaged in a life of community service during their college years and that they remain responsible citizens wherever they go next. We are grateful to the St. Louis Public Schools for opening their doors for another year, allowing our students to leave an impression on the lives of St. Louis youth." For more information or to volunteer for all or part of the day, contact Kurtzman at 935-5994. |
