Proud to have our recent AIA San Francisco – AIASF award winning The O’Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm in the company of these lovely projects. Congratulations to all!
It’s been a great week for the The O’Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm! After last Saturday’s tour as part of the AIA Committee On Design, last night the project received a citation award from AIA San Francisco – AIASF…CAW’s first from this chapter. We could not be more proud of this wonderful project and our project team!
CAW Principal Chris Wasney AIA went to Washington to represent the California Preservation Foundation (CPF) and Preservation Action (PA) as part of National Historic Preservation Advocacy Week. The California delegation included John Lesak of Page & Turnbull, Shaw Sprague of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Cindy Heitzman, the Executive Director of CPF, pictured here with Representative Mike Thompson of California’s 5th District that includes the Napa valley and Santa Rosa. The delegation met with staff and members of the House and Senate and advocated for increased funding of the Historic Preservation Fund and the extensions and improvements to federal historic tax credit program for rehabilitation of historic resources.
The AIA Committee On Design (COD) is holding their annual national conference in San Francisco this week. The COD was “founded to promote design excellence among members of the AIA, the broader design community, and the public at large, both nationally and internationally.” As the conference moves south on Saturday to visit the Silicon Valley, CAW Principal Chris Wasney AIA will lead a tour of our project, The O’Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm at Stanford University. Completed in 2017, the Farm serves as a working agricultural complex that provides over 15,000 pounds of produce each year to the campus dining service, and a living laboratory where students, faculty and community members test ideas about social and environmental aspects of farming and urban agriculture.
