The School That Never Sleeps Posted on October 24, 2016July 9, 2024 by Melissa Leverenz Photo: Melissa Leverenz The atmosphere at The School of Architecture and Urban Planning from 2pm-3pm remained still, as students were in class, preparing for the most stressful time of the semester, critiques. I decided to head back into the action after sunset, around 9pm. “Aside from the twelve hours we spend in class throughout the week, we dedicate around 24-30 hours outside of class, in the studio,” Jackson Richard, senior, said. Students flooded the building with coffee in one hand and a bag full of tools in the other. Installations and sketches of a project on designing a residence hall at UWM covered the tables as creatively-driven students remained focused on their computer, crafting a brilliant future.
