The findings of the committee were reiterated for the faculty in the fall of 2011 with the request that Faculty council and the Curriculum Committee consider specific curricular mittee AppointmentsCollege and Department CommitteesCoAD Lecture CommitteeCoAD Writing Committee (chairCoAD Assistant Dean Search Committee 2010-2011CoAD Assistant Dean Search Committee 2010-2011Department of Architecture Graduate Faculty Coordinators Committee Department of Architecture History and Theory Faculty Search Committee 2012-2013Department of Architecture Landscape Architecture Faculty Search Committee 2013-2014Department of Architecture Curriculum Committee Drafted, with Jim Stevens, a major revision to the architecture design curriculumDepartment of Architecture NAAB Accreditation Visit CommitteeDepartment of Architecture Integrated Design Studio CommitteeUniversity Committees and ServiceCore Curriculum Task ForceDesign Thinking Task ForceMember and made two presentations of the Task Force findings to the College of Engineering and the College of Architecture and Design on behalf of the Task ForceeLearning Advisory CommitteeEnglish Composition Faculty Search Committee (HSSC, College of Arts and Sciences)Community ServiceI Community ServiceAllen Creek Greenway ConservancyMember, Advisory Board, spring 2011 to present Secretary, Board of Directors, fall 2004 to 2011Founding Member, 2004The hope for a greenway in downtown Ann Arbor was revived in 2004 with expressions of interest on the part of key figures in the development community, the Department of Parks and Recreation, regional land trusts, and the public. We incorporated the group in the State of Michigan in September 2005 as the Allen Creek Greenway Conservancy. We have been granted 501.3.c status under federal law and have created a proposed route for the Greenway. The ACGC has sponsored and cooperated with several studies of the Greenway. The economics of the Greenway were examined, several years ago, by graduate students at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. This fall, a group of graduate students in the Urban and Regional Planning Program at the University of Michigan will develop and propose a master plan for the Greenway.Currently, I am working with my ACGC colleague, Joe O’Neal, to advise inForm Architects on their draft proposal for the “SkyTrail” project, a bridge crossing North Main Street in Ann Arbor. The propose bridge would connect the Allen Creek Greenway with existing trails along the Huron River.Urban Design AdvocatesAnn Arbor, Michigan, 2000-2002UDA, an ad hoc urban design action group, prepared a “Greater Downtown Ann Arbor Urban Design Principles and Checklist” as a guide for citizens, developers, and civic officials in March 2000. We also met with the Democratic (majority) caucus of the Ann Arbor City Council to promote a thoughtful approach to the proposed expansion of City Hall. In 2002, we developed a “Prospectus for an Ann Arbor Downtown Greenway” which also addressed storm water issues associated with Allen’s Creek.Property Planning Committee / Huron Valley Girl Scout Council Ann Arbor, Michigan, Fall 2001-Spring 2002The Property Planning Committee was appointed by the HVGSC Board to study and prepare a set of recommendations for the development of the Council’s three camps over the next 20 years.
