One Concrete Move at a Time!
The Department of Landscape Architecture is thrilled to announce a very special (and rather solid) donation: a custom-made concrete chessboard! Crafted with care and creativity, this unique piece is not just a game board, but an actual work of art that is now available to students of the Faculty of Architecture in their common area.
This special gift comes from our longstanding supporter, Barkman Concrete Ltd., whose generosity and connection to the department and faculty have endured over time, much like the new chessboard itself will endure! The thoughtful contribution embodies both strength and strategy, qualities we highly value in our students and community.
Students are warmly invited to take a break, challenge a friend, and put their best moves forward. Whether you are a grandmaster in training or just learning how the knight moves, the board is open for all to enjoy during your leisure time.
So next time you are between classes, reach out to the president of the Landscape Architecture Student Association, Sari Halldorson Haines, at halldors@myumanitoba.ca, who manages the free rental service. See if you can outsmart your classmates.
Many thanks again to Barkman Concrete Ltd. for helping to make our program a fun and friendly place for challenges.
