The College of Design, Construction and Planning is saddened by the loss of F. Blair Reeves, Professor Emeritus of Architecture, who passed away on March 12 at age 89.
Reeves served as a faculty member at UF from 1949 to 1987. A pioneer in the area of architectural preservation, he documented more than 17,000 historic sites through the Historic American Building Survey (HABS). As an architect specializing in education and preservation, Reeves established architectural preservation programs and, with Walter Beinecke, Jr., co-founded the Preservation Institute: Nantucket (PI:N), now in its 40th year. His work at UF and PI:N touched the lives of countless professionals throughout the United States and for his work he received the highest honor awarded for historic preservation, the Louise du Pont Crowninshield Award.

DCP Research Showcase focuses on innovation
UF President Bernie Machen addresses the audience during the 2012 DCP Research Showcase.
DCP kicked off its 2012 Research Showcase on Feb. 24 with an opening address by UF President Bernie Machen and Dean Christopher Silver to a crowd of visitors gathered in the Architecture Building Atrium.
"You and your college are uniquely positioned, I think, to lead our state, our nation and the globe toward a smarter, more sustainable shape and structure in the 21st century," Machen said. "You have three new labs to arm graduates with knowledge and experience of the most up-to-date technology and the spirit of collaboration and creation, which is so vital in today's world."
As part of the fifth annual showcase, visitors toured the latest classroom innovations at the college, such as the co-Lab, Fab Lab and BIM Lab. The event was also an opportunity for current and prospective students to learn about the research conducted in the college and for DCP professionals to hear new ideas that are driving the field.
