In case you missed it, Peter Summerlin's Construction Materials class recently went behind-the-scenes to witness the making of one of our discipline's most-used hardscape materials—brick. While touring the Columbus Brick plant, our students gained a new appreciation for the precision and craftsmanship baked into each and every brick they'll specify or install as future landscape professionals. We're grateful to Columbus Brick for facilitating such a memorable learning experience.

A national honor for a project with a big impact right here at home!

About 60 landscape architecture students and faculty advisors earned an Honor Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects for their innovative transformation of the Sudduth Elementary courtyard in Starkville.

From talking tubes and an abstract forest to a stone abacus and winding caterpillar bench, the student-designed space is bringing learning, movement and play together for the Sudduth community.

Hear why Mike still enjoys his career in landscape maintenance estimating after thirteen years on the job.
