Thankfully, all jail cell doors will be left open! The new facility, built adjacent to the existing Justice Center, will be completed in a single phase and is scheduled to open next spring. Join us at 4 p.m. on the 29th to tour the new facilities and learn about the challenges overcome in the construction of this new facility. The project was procured under Virginia's PPEA, Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act. I look forward to working with all of you in our ASCE Richmond branch to have a productive and successful fall season. Sincerely, Austin Clark

This tournament provides the primary source of funding used by the Education Committee to promote member involvement to pre-college and college age students. Money raised will go toward the Popsicle Bridge Competition, held annually for middle and high school students as part of Engineer's Day at the Science Museum of Virginia. The money will also provide a $1,000 scholarship to a student at UVA who is majoring in civil engineering, and support social events throughout the year to promote member involvement.
