Students net top honor from
HKS for their Dubai design

 

A jury of professional designers awarded $1000 to a team of architecture and landscape architecture students from Texas A&M University’s College of Architecture for their hospital/resort project design for a development in Dubai.

Nunzio M. DeSantis, FAIA, executive vice president of HKS, presented the team of architecture students Mark Burgess, Teri Whitney and Randi Newman and landscape architecture students Shawn Dressler and Cara Strong with $1000 for their “Destination Healthcare” design.

For the project, “Destination Healthcare: A Sustainable Resort and Hospital,” 31 students and faculty members collaborated with design professionals at HKS and the SWA Group to create building and landscape designs for a hospital, hotel and villas to be located in Dubai’s World of Islands development.
