LAEP Students Have European Spring Break

Students in a Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning class will spend an extended spring break in Paris and Berlin. Fourteen undergraduate students will take advantage of this educational experience that enhances their existing course offerings. The students are enrolled in LAEP’s “Emerging Areas of Landscape Architecture” course.

Two LAEP professors, Caroline Lavoie and John Nicholson, will accompany the students on the trip. The students will take a closer look at parks, historic gardens, gothic cathedrals and new urban design projects, Nicholson said. Many of these areas have been a focus of the students’ design classes.

 

“While the group will visit the famous sites, the uniqueness of the trip will be the modern projects built in the last 20 years,” Nicholson said. “Many of these projects are away from tourist areas.”

 

The students are responsible for the cost of the two-week trip, but will return to the USU campus with extensive out-of-the-classroom learning experience.
