THE architects which spruced up the skyline of St John's in Worcester met with MP Robin Walker who says he is a 'fan' of their work.

Staff at DJD Architects received Robin Walker at their offices on St Oswalds Road, Worcester on Friday.

Mr Walker approached DJD Architects as he is a great fan of the work they have done on the overcladding and refurbishment of the St John's towers for client Fortis Living and said he was also struck by the innovative designs of other buildings created by the firm.

Staff at DJD Architects showed Mr Walker working models, and drawings, discussed previous and current work as well as issues facing Worcester businesses.

Mr Walker was impressed with the significant investment in BIM (Building Information Modelling) allowing fully integrated virtual models in 3D.

As a member of the Business, Innovation and Skills Select Committee, Mr Walker learned about DJDs work experience programme for school students.

Students are given a theoretical design project, requiring freehand sketching, physical modelling and computer modelling to design a youth shelter related to one of their hobbies.

David Davis, managing director of DJD Architects, said: "We are very proud of what we have achieved on the St John's Towers and we know that the clients are really happy with the results and the residents are already making use of their new facilities.

"The project is now complete and were pleased to know we have made a positive impression on the Worcester skyline."

Robin Walker MP said: Anybody who sees the elegant design of the St John's Towers today and contrasts it to how they looked a few short years ago can see the power of urban regeneration and quality design."

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is engaging Lincoln architects and preparing for a merger between the College of Architecture and the Hixon-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts.

Chancellor Harvey Perlman met with three dozen Lincoln architects last week to lay out UNLs vision for the proposed merger, which would result in the Hixson-Lied College of the Arts and Architecture.

The meeting comes more than a year after Perlman first proposed merging the two colleges into one academic unit led by Charles OConnor, the current dean of the fine arts college.

Perlman said the merger would combine two of UNLs smallest colleges to create a larger and more diverse college teaching industrial, environmental, architectural, visual and interactive design. The College of Architecture enrolled 490 students last fall; the College of Fine and Performing Arts had 807 students.

Regent Tim Clare of Lincoln said he's undecided on the merger at this time, but praised UNL for creating a forum with Lincoln architects to discuss the proposal.

We want to do whats best for the students, and to do that first we have to clear up any misunderstandings, Clare said. I think it was good foresight by (Perlman) to get out and address these issues, and for the architecture firms to hear straight from the horses mouth what the universitys plan is.

Clare said Lincolns architects -- nearly 40 attended the meeting last week along with NU Provost Susan Fritz and a few students -- will likely have another opportunity to meet with UNL leaders before the proposal goes before the full Board of Regents.

The regents Academic Affairs Committee has discussed the proposal, and two UNL groups have given the merger their support.

The Academic Planning Committee and the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska both approved the proposal, UNL spokesman Steve Smith said.

The Board of Regents will likely consider the merger at its April 10 meeting, but UNL is moving ahead with personnel decisions.
