Interior Design program organizing Lakeside Cafe renovation
The interior design program is organizing inter-disciplinary teams of Southern students for a weekend-long sustainable design charette. While these are common at architecture/design schools, this is the first time the strengths of Southern students in a design charette will be showcased.
On Friday September 11, 2009 at 9:00am teams of students from the interior design, graphic design, construction management, and hotel and restaurant management programs will meet to be delivered a design brief for a sustainable renovation of the current Lakeside Café, based on guidelines presented by Auxiliary Services:
"The new facility should present an energetic Georgia Southern feeling, reflecting the vitality of the campus and student body. More patron seating and additional food preparation space are necessary to meet current and future enrollment. A creative, cohesive vision for the marketing and interior environment (including demolition and construction plans, furnishings, fixtures, finishes, environmental branding, etc) must be presented as a practicable response to the University’s commitment to sustainable practices."
It is a complex project that we think will highlight the advanced technical and creative learning our students are engaged in.
CHHS helps launch Childhood Obesity Intiative
The College and the Bulloch County Health Department have organized the Bulloch County CHILD (Children’s Health Improvement and Lifestyle Development) Coalition. The Bulloch County CHILD Coalition will be made up of community partners dedicated to fighting childhood obesity. Funding for the first year of the project is provided by a grant from the Georgia Division of Public Health.
The objectives of the CHILD coalition include increasing the awareness of the problem of childhood obesity, improving healthy eating habits and activities, and increasing breastfeeding rates. Faculty members from the University’s College of Health and Human Sciences will bring expertise in the areas of nutrition, exercise science, child and family development, nursing, recreation, and health education and behavior to the initiative. However, Whitt believes community involvement will be vitally important.
