Alumni gatherings
School of Architecture alumni have started gathering in person again after several years of Zoom. On May 7, over 140 members of the classes of 1980–85 came together for a multiyear reunion organized by Elisabeth Martin ’83MArch and Michael Duddy ’85MArch. The reunion included a preview of the new Hotel Marcel, developed by Bruce Becker ’84MArch as the first net-zero hotel in the US. And on June 23, the school hosted an all-alum reception in Chicago on the occasion of the 2022 American Institute of Architects conference.
