AIA Educational Outreach to Local Schools

Gene Burr and AIA East TN Chapter was awarded a $1,500 grant from the American Architectural Foundation Accent on Architecture Community Grant Program.  This grant has funded the creation of "Go To 2033" a Knox County Student Manual / Teacher Guide intended for middle school instruction .   Suzanne Wedekind of West Valley Middle School authored the publication working closely with Mike Carberry and Metropolitan Planning Commission planners.

The manual's intent is to educate and engage future voters of the Knoxville area. The manual was inspired by "Wacker's Manual of the Plan of Chicago" which was in turn based on Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett's "Plan of Chicago" in 1909.
