Missed Trivia Night? Check out my recap video! The event included friendly competition across several rounds of challenging trivia questions. The categories were Women’s History, Movies, Geography, Architecture Appreciation and Anime. VANOMA member, Phil Baxter, included a fun twist after every round that resulted in clapping, booing, the Macarena and push ups. Thank you to everyone that attended and supported.

Last week, 14 first and second-year architecture students from Hampton University participated in the inaugural Spring Shadow Studio, a dynamic externship designed to provide early exposure to professional practice. Developed through a partnership between Hampton University's Department of Architecture, AIA Coastal Virginia, VANOMA, and six local architecture firms, this week-long experience immersed students in real-world projects, design workshops, and mentorship. A big thank you to each of the externs, partner firms, and Hampton University for an exciting inaugural Spring Shadow Studio!
