At their June meeting, the Emerging Leaders in Architecture students learned the importance of working together — a vital tool as they continue to work on their class project in Chesterfield Heights, Norfolk.

The students heard from Mike Evans, FAIA, former president of Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas + Company, who spoke about the architect’s mind and heart. This talk built upon the previous session in Alexandria on collaboration and embracing the strengths of team members. The students also heard from Brian Frickie, AIA, and a number of recent graduates of the ELA program who furthered this message.

After lunch, the students participated in a panel discussion and case study focusing on working with developers and contractors. Skip Smith, Vice President of Development at W.M. Jordan Company, and Mark Payne, Vice President of S.B. Ballard Construction Company, were on hand to answer the students’ questions and provide different perspectives for the case study.
