Happy National Intern Day! We have two incredible interns on our team this summer, Olivia Luckinbill and Avery Jackson. Olivia is a recent graduate of Virginia Tech with a Bachelor of Architecture. After attending 4 years at the Blacksburg campus, Olivia came to the Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center as a Firm Advisory Board scholar to write her thesis on reimagining highway interchange infrastructure. During her fifth year, Olivia worked with us as a part-time intern and has been with us full-time since her graduation. Olivia has worked on many marketing drawings for projects such as Park Ford, 1 Hawaii Avenue, The Community Partnership, and Hecker House, and assists with project work. Avery is a rising 5th year Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, while completing a minor in Urban Studies. She has spent a semester abroad in Helsinki, Finland, where she deepened her passion for urban design and adaptive reuse. Avery has spent her time at B|HA working on marketing drawings, participating in site visits, and assisting with preliminary site measurements, schematic design, and client meetings for a rowhouse renovation project. Olivia and Avery have been invaluable members of our team, contributing to our efforts, standards, and culture. We are happy to have them with us and look forward to their future accomplishments and contributions to the profession! #nationalinternday #futurearchitects
