Pit & Quarry, August, 2004

Students at Virginia Tech's Department of Landscape Architecture in Blacksburg, Va., captured two of the top three prizes in the 2004 Annual Student Competition in Landscape Architecture sponsored by the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) in cooperation with the American Society of Landscape Architects.

Virginia Tech Professor and ASLA President-Elect Dr. Patrick Miller worked with juniors Nathan Brown, Brandon Cappellari and Jeremy Hinte on the first place entry that transformed the Cardinal Stone Galax Quarry in Galax, Va. (part of Salem Stone Corp.), into a unique community space featuring recreation areas, apple orchards and a rustic bed-and-breakfast.
