Dear Members of the McEwen School of Architecture Community,

On Monday January 27, 2025, at 6.30 pm we will meet in the McEwen School of Architecture Lecture Hall (SA-123) for a Celebration of Life for Shannon Bassett. This event will also be live streamed, and a link will be shared before the date.

BEA(N), the Building Equality in Architecture (North) group that Shannon co-founded, will be supporting this event, screening the film 'City Dreamers' later in the evening, at 8.30 pm and will create a digital exhibit of work Shannon mentored while at the McEwen School of Architecture. Please stay tuned for more information.

Shannon's area of expertise was landscape design, and she was a passionate proponent of this; in her honour, the McEwen School of Architecture will also be planting a mature, native species tree in the spring in the McEwen School of Architecture green space. We will share the date and details of this later in the semester.

Hope to see you at this special event honouring Shannon on January 27, 2025.
