Being in the Mizzou Architecture program, since it isn't accredited by the AIA you would have to go to another school to become an accredited architect correct? What are you planning on doing after college?
Just curious, because I want to go into architecture but I don't think I would go to Mizzou if that were the case.
You are correct, we are not AIA accredited sadly. It's one of the smallest and least known programs on campus, as well as nationally. Almost no on even knows Mizzou has an architecture program, even people here in Columbia. But...being a Mizzou true son, I couldn't go anywhere else for my undergrad degree. I will have to go somewhere else for 2 more years after I graduate to get accredited. Where that may be I don't really know yet, but since I graduate next year I'm starting to look around pretty seriously.
As for after I get my masters and get accredited, I want to go into sport venue design (See the company Populous for an example of what I want to do. They designed our new east addition to Faurot Field, as well as Baylor's new Stadium, Minnesota's new stadium, and the 2012 Olympic Park in London, which I saw personally in June).

Mizzou Arena, too. Both them and 360 Architecture have offices in KC so I wouldn't have to leave the area if I were to end up getting a job with them (which is what I want to do in the future)
Is the program similar to Architecture programs at other, accredited schools and are you glad you chose Mizzou even if you may be in college longer than someone who went to an Architectur school? Do you feel that the Mizzou Arch. Studies program gives you good preparation for wherever you go for your masters (I guess you may not know yet, since you haven't started your masters
)? Sorry for the questions but you seem to have been in a very similar situation to what I am in currently as a junior in HS

I love the Rock M - think it is one of the only features that makes our stadium unique.
However, these are the changes I would make:
- stop counting hill seating in our total capacity; it clearly should be overflow.
- eventually build permanent seating on either side of the Rock M
- somehow use the Rock M in the game intro - maybe have players run down either side of it, similar to Clemson and Howard's Rock (this may be stupid but I am just spit balling here)

JMO but if the game is sold out, the "M" isn't really a relevant feature of the stadium. As the stadium empties out it becomes relevant again but then they show on TV an empty endzone.
They could utilize the hill somewhat like Clemson does along with Vols tradition. The Marching Band brings fans to the stadium and plays north of the stadium for a while and enters via the hill. Get fans into the seats early.
Then instead of players coming through a tunnel on the South - a squad comes down the hill!
