When UO architecture undergraduate Shirley Huang had a chance to work on a real-life design project for the City of Albany, she was initially seeking practical experience. City officials thought the former St. Francis Hotel might be adapted to support housing or return to use as a hotel. Through an architecture studio course at the UO, Huang hoped to give city officials some options to implement their vision.

Design for people and the environment has reached new levels thanks to achievements by UO alumni William Leddy and Marsha Maytum, and their San Francisco firm, Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects. 

In honor of Leddy and Maytum’s distinguished career path, the UO School of Architecture and Allied Arts will present the Ellis F. Lawrence Medal—the school’s highest honor—to the duo during commencement ceremonies June 19.

Master of Fine Arts students Lee Asahina and Chelsea Couch are this year’s recipients of the University of Oregon’s Georgianne Teller Singer Dean’s Graduate Fellowship. Due to the exceptional quality of both students’ applications, this year’s award recognizes two students for the first time. Both are in the Department of Art.

The Singer Fellowship recognizes outstanding research activities and creative work encompassing the systematic exploration of a body of knowledge.

Three Department of Art faculty members are among 44 Oregon artists awarded 2017 Career Opportunity Grants from the Oregon Arts Commission, The Ford Family Foundation, and The Oregon Community Foundation.

• Charlene Liu was awarded $1,500 from the Oregon Arts Commission and $3,000 from The Ford Family Foundation to support Liu’s multimedia installation composed of projected animation, prints, sculptures, and augmented reality that tell a series of interrelated narratives.
