On Feb. 28th, we hosted four awesome eighth graders from middle schools across Lexington. Each of these kids expressed interest in either architecture, interior design or 3D modeling/rendering. To qualify for Junior Achievement, each one had to write an essay on how they would use the job shadowing experience to shape their future.
This is the perfect age for the love of design and the act of creation to take hold of these kids–and EOP was happy to participate in that process.
Here’s a couple of pics with architect Derek Brooks talking about the LexHold facility, currently under construction at the University of Kentucky’s Coldstream Research Park (rendering below).
