Class Tuesday and Solberg Access

We'll meet in the Barn to start class on Tuesday and then move to Solberg to work for about the last two hours.  You should be ready to sketch and draft on the cheaper sketch paper with softer lead in your lead holder, like the lead that came with it.

Building access was bungled for this weekend at Solberg.  I didn't realize there was a holiday until this morning.  In TX Geo. Washington is a foreigner and Sam Houston is the Washington.  Lincoln did that pesky emancipation thing, of course, so he's not feted as much in the old confederacy.  They don't take this day off down there.  President's Day is the nickname for a day with lots of store sales there.  Anyways, we have a solution for building access but can't get it implemented until tomorrow.

There are plenty of lead holders, vellum, trace paper, etc. etc. available for sale at Cover to Cover here in town on Main Avenue.

On Thursday we will meet at the Barn and go for a tour of the new Dairy Micro-sciences building and renovations.  The Dairy production facility is amazing materials.  Stainless steel doors, windows and frames.  Special "dairy brick" on floors and splashes.  It is a utlilitarian building, not architectural in intention.  We'll meet on Thursday at the Barn,  we'll leave backpacks behind.  Feel free to bring cameras.  We'll discuss it afterwards and do work.

Go see the architecture web page now.  It is starting to move along.  If you want to have some information accessible that isn't there now then let us know what it is and we'll try to incorporate it.  http://www.sdstate.edu/arch/
