Below are only some of the highlights of the 2012–13 year: The School of Architecture passed the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accreditation review with flying colors. Congratulations to a recognition well deserved. Among significant achievements are Professor Ursula Emery McClure and her team of students winning the 2012 Charles E. Peterson Prize. By the middle of the 2013 fall semester—and after 87 years—Atkinson Hall will be fully accessible with an elevator and new bathrooms. Welcome back alumni new and old! The Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture continues its rank as number one in the nation for its undergraduate program, and the
faculty initiatives. They set high standards for the college and for LSU. The new International Studies Committee is working with the LSU International Studies Office to strengthen and expand study abroad, international exchanges, and outreach opportunities. We are already working on Haiti and China, and the world is the limit. My first semester at LSU has been a journey of discovery in a landscape shaped by unique traditions, a landscape filled with opportunity for a college of artists and designers. In last year’s message, “The Dean” asked that you “please don’t waver in your support to the College of Art + Design” at this crucial time of change, and I would add, of significant
renewal. Your support has indeed been indispensable. On behalf of the College of Art + Design, I thank you.

College of Art + Design Alkis P. Tsolakis has been selected to serve as the new dean of the LSU College of Art + Design. He began his appointment in January 2013. Tsolakis, a trained sculptor and architect, comes to LSU from Drury University, where he was a professor of architecture and acting director of the art department. The Louisiana Board of Regents awarded a $70,000 grant for an advanced visual research and digital fabrication system, providing the college with a state-of-the-art 3D scanner and CNC mill. The grant was written cooperatively between the dean’s office, Communication across the Curriculum (CxC), and Art + Design faculty committed to incorporating this technology into their courses. The equipment is managed in central locations within the college, the CxC Art + Design Studio and the Design Shop, for increased access and the greatest impact on student learning. The Coastal Sustainability Studio (CSS) was awarded the prestigious Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) Collaborative Practice Award for 2012–13. Housed in the College of Art + Design, CSS is a collaborative effort that involves multiple colleges and schools within the university, including engineers, coastal scientists, architects, and landscape architects. CSS was awarded a $600,000 contract to oversee the Resiliency Assistance Program for the State of Louisiana’s Office of Community Development (OCD) Disaster Recovery Unit (DRU).

Faculty Highlights Architecture Professor J. Michael Desmond’s book, The Architecture of LSU, was published by LSU Press in May 2013. The publication was in large part made possible by a $180,000 Campus Heritage Grant from the Getty Foundation in Los Angeles, received in 2006. In The Architecture of
LSU, Desmond chronicles the university’s architectural legacy, dating back to the Renaissance, and he shares the architectural principles that guided the creation of one of the most unique academic environments in North America. Assistant Professor of Graphic Design Richard Doubleday was one of the contributors to the recently released Phaidon Archive of Graphic
Design, a reference “book in a box” that features 500 graphic designs from around the world. In December 2012, Doubleday’s solo poster exhibit “,” opened at the University Creative Park Exhibition Center in Beijing, China. Associate Professor of Art Ed Smith was profiled in the October/November 2012 issue of Garden
& Gun magazine. Smith had two solo exhibits in 2012–13.
