Hello Virginia Tech Alumni!
I have a few announcements to let folks know about.
Our annual speaker event will feature Jack Davis, current Dean of Architecture at Virginia Tech. We will have a wine tasting and hors d’oeuvres prior to the event. He will be sharing highlights of the past "Lumenhaus" projects done by students at Virginia Tech. The most recent edition of the solar house "Lumenhaus" won the international competition last year and was on display at the lower end of the drillfield last fall. The event will be on Thursday evening, February 24th at the Volvo Training Facility at 7990 National Service Road at the Hwy68/airport exit off I-40. The cost to attend is $10 per person. Wine will be available for purchase at $5 per glass. Soft drinks wiil be available at no charge. The social will begin at 6PM. We will be partnering with the local AIA Chapters and the Piedmont Triad Partnership for this event. A flyer will be mailed and also will be posted on the website so that you can send in your form to reserve a space. I am very excited about this event and hope we will have a great turnout by our chapter.
