UMA Approved—Now What?
Books, Books and More Books
The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) is requiring that within three (3) years, the architecture book resources at the University of Maine, Augusta (UMA) Library be increased to a significantly larger collection of 5,000 volumes. Currently the UMA Katz Library has about 1,000 books.
The Boston Architectural Center (BAC) and UMA are jointly asking architects and architectural firms in Maine and throughout New England search their personal and professional libraries for any books they might donate to the Katz Library. Books on design, urban planning, renowned architects, history, styles, technology or other related architectural subject matter will be gratefully accepted by UMA.
If you have any volumes that you can donate, please contact Jay Hoffman, Head Librarian, at 1-877-UMA-1234.
Call for Potential M.ARCH Students
The BA in Architecture Program at UMA has received several inquires from all around the state from people who have a BA or BS degree in architecture, who must remain in Maine, but would like to continue their education at the professional level. That program is now available. If you have the required undergraduate degree, and wish to explore a professional Master’s degree in Maine, offered through the BAC, contact Dr. Lamb or the Director of Admissions at the BAC, and start the process.
