Chemistry professor Pete Kekenes-Huskey is a recipient of the Petroleum Research Fund Doctoral New Investigator grant from the American Chemical Society that supports fundamental research directly related to petroleum or fossil fuels. The $110,000 award will seed the development of computational models for predicting methane transport in zeolitic materials, which could help improve our ability to extract valuable chemicals from an abundant catalyst.
Students gain understanding of architectural language based on modern archetypes. Projects explore aesthetic and poetic possibilities while also emphasizing cohesion among space, structure, site, program, and material assembly. A variety of assembly types are introduced for the examining of structural and materials concepts. Studio: 12 hours per week. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK. Prereq: ARC 151 with a grade of C or better.
Studies the formal characteristics of site and context together with laws and principles of building and nature, ecology, and the ways these forces influence architecture. The studio investigates applications of current technology and building systems. Studio: 12 hours per week. Prereq: ARC 253 with a grade of C or better. Paired with course: ARC 332.
This studio explores various design topics including building technology, furniture design, digital visualization, historic preservation, and human settlement. Studio: 12 hours per week. Prereq: ARC 355 with a grade of C or better.

Jane Calvert, an associate professor of history in the UK College of Arts and Sciences, has raised more than a half million dollars, for the John Dickinson Writings Project. This project will collect, transcribe, edit and publish the complete writings of Dickinson, who wrote more for the American cause than any other founding father.
