Supporting the Next Generation of Designers at NC State University

Smith Sinnett Architecture President Rhonda Angerio was honored to participate in the recent review for NC State University’s ARC 302 undergraduate studio. This intensive four-week project challenged third-year architecture students to design a pre-K building for the Our Lady of Lourdes campus in Raleigh—a site known for its tight constraints and complex context.

Rhonda joined a distinguished panel of reviewers including Roger Cannon with Cannon Architects and Elizabeth Caliendo with Skinner Farlow Kirwan Architecture, and would like to extend her sincere thanks to Vinny Petrarca and Katherine Hogan for the invitation to be a part of this meaningful experience. The student work was thoughtful, well-developed, and reflective of the energy and dedication that define this next generation of architects. Congratulations to the entire class on a job well done!

ARC 302 is a core design studio at NC State’s College of Design, emphasizing the integration of technical systems—including structure, enclosure, environmental control, and energy efficiency—into the architectural design process.

We were thrilled to support such an important academic endeavor, and we look forward to seeing these students shape the future of the built environment.
