On May 5, a group of Loyola and Maryvale architecture students taking part in the ACE (Architecture, Construction, Engineering) Mentor Program presented their final work at the Baltimore chapter's annual awards ceremony held at Notre Dame Prep. The team presented their blueprints and models that demonstrated their redesign for Cross Street Market in the Federal Hill neighborhood of Baltimore, which they have been developing for the last two months. The team has had a great group of professional mentors from Rubeling & Associates, Whiting-Turner, and Brawner Builders helping them along the way.
The real excitement came when two team members were awarded scholarships. Jackie Kuwabara from Maryvale received $3,500 and John Seal '16 received $2,000 for their outstanding leadership and work within the STEM field. John and Loyola's architecture teacher Mr. Shapiro will attend the annual ACE Board Breakfast on May 18, where he will be presented with a check.
