A-School Design Project
To Benefit Camp Faith

Four proposed building plans,
drawn up by teams of third-year
students at the University of
Virginia's School of Architecture,
will be presented tomorrow
afternoon to the Board of Directors
of Camp Faith, a camp for
underprivileged children in
Albemarle County.

The students of a third-year
class have spent this semester
designing new buildings for the
camp. The class was divided into
twelve two-man teams of
prospective architects. Each
designed new structures
for the camp, and tomorrow
afternoon at the School of
Architecture from 2 to 5p.m., the
four plans judged to be the most
practical will be presented to the
camp's board.

Mr. Matthias Kayhoe, Assistant is
to the Dean and an assistant
professor of Architecture, said that
the School of Architecture initiated
the project by making an offer
Mr. John Lowe, Director of Camp
Faith, two summers ago and
repeated again this past summer.
Mr. Kayhoe said that the
Department of Design is anxious
find projects similar to this one
which the students can complete in
one semester.

The four plans to be presented
tomorrow were chosen by Mr.
Kahoe, Mr. Edward Lay, assistant
professor of Architecture and
third-year master, and Mr. Thomas
Fitzpatrick, professor of
Architecture.

The designing teams whose
plans were selected were Ted Smith
and Jim Cardwell, Ferd Johns and
Eric Goetz. Hardee Johnston and
John Taylor, and Gary Kreger and
Macy Rummler.

Each design was drawn up
individually by the teams and were
usually quite intricate, consisting of
between eight and ten separate
buildings Included in the
blueprints were facilities for dining,
meeting,
bath-houses, and living quarters for
the camps director, among others.
