CANstruction 2009

Thomas the Tank Engine, the Very Hungry Caterpiller and other children’s book figures have taken over downtown Richmond! On display at the James Center through Saturday, November 7, is this year’s CANstruction event. For those of you who don’t know, CANstruction is a competition where teams of architects, engineers and students design and build giant structures made entirely from full cans of food, taking 8-12 weeks and thousands of cans. Afterwards, all food is donated to a local food bank – in this year’s case, Baskervill client, the Central Virginia Food Bank.

Baskervill designers and CANstruction chairs Bill Clancy and Eric Evenson helped coordinate this year’s event, “A Book Today, A Friend Forever” and Baskervill’s design – A Very Hungry Foodbank. Everyone is encouraged to go to the Central Virginia Food Bank site to vote for their favorite. Voting ends November 6. We recommend #8, but that’s just us…

On the Boards

It’s that time again for Baskervill to showcase some of the things we’ve been working on these past few months. Each of our sectors has a new and exciting project ranging from the conversion of a former grocery store to a storage space and classrooms for Virginia Commonwealth University to a new headquarters for regional bank EVB to a new reclad of Verizon’s Roanoke, Va. building and much more.  Check out the link below to our On the Boards presentation to see what’s going on.

Baskervill’s water re-filling station huge success at Autism Speaks Walk!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support Autism Speaks at their 2009 walk at RIR! Baskervill hosted a water re-filling station near the start/finish line and provided water to hundreds of thirsty walkers.

Baskervill Walks for Autism

Baskervill is sponsoring a team and water station for the 2009 Walk Now for Autism Speaks on Saturday, October 3.  We are really excited to have a group in the walk this year because autism has affected many of us on a personal level.  Baskervill’s connection to autism began when we worked with the Faison School for Autism when they moved to their new facility at 1701 Byrd Avenue last year.   Our design team worked closely with the faculty, staff and parents to create design solutions that were functional, practical, safe and supportive of the learning process while maintaining a fun, youthful spirit.  We are thrilled to continue to work with Faison School on their Residence Hall project.

So come out and walk for autism!  We hope to see you there.
