2013 Program Posted

The competition kickoff meeting was Tuesday, January 8 at 4:00 pm at the AIA Toledo office.  Despite the short notice (although it was listed on the brochure that went out to all schools in December), a few instructors showed up and received the program sheets and were able to ask program questions of the HSDC Committee.

If you or your teacher were unable to attend the kickoff meeting, don't panic!  Instructors can still have their class or group participate in the competition by sending us an email telling us you are participating.  We will add new classes up to the end of the month (January 22 is shown on the program sheet), and would like a tentative list of participating students by February 22 (sooner, if possible).  Project boards are due March 27, 2013 (and that date cannot change).

This year's program is a residential duplex development  in a site adjacent to Lucas County Metropolitan Housing Authority's Collingwood Green project.  We have had many requests for a residential project over the past few years, and this year we are able to respond to those requests.

In addition to being a relatively affordable project, LMHA has set sights on sustainability as a goal, and would also like to provide accessible design where possible.  This program includes a requirement for Juniors & Seniors to have one accessible unit in their development.  Sustainable features are also called out for on the program.

Instructors, please send your student list to hsdc.aiatoledo@gmail.com as soon as possible!  We will be working to assign advisers to every participating high school before the end of January.

Student participation forms will be updated and posted to this website; we will send announcements when they become available.

We look forward to a great competition this year!
