DENVER, CO – Design Workshop is proud to announce the selection of Curtis Walls, an undergraduate landscape architecture student at North Carolina and Technical State University, for the 2007 Dr. Charles Fountain Internship.

The internship, established in 2004, honors the vision of Dr. Charles Fountain, founder of the landscape architecture program at North Carolina A&T State University. By establishing the first and only fully accredited undergraduate program of its type at a historically black university in the United States, Dr. Fountain helped minority students to pursue careers in design and planning. The internship helps these students to gain real-life experience in professional settings. Walls applies his academic knowledge to Design Workshop’s overall commitment to excellence in its work for clients and their communities.

Walls’ commitment to the study of landscape architecture, with a focus on urban, resort and open space planning, demonstrates potential that Design Workshop highly values and fosters among under-represented students of the profession. Walls was a participant in the Design Workshop’s 2007 design charrette in Asheville, North Carolina, which contributed to the planning and revitalization of the city’s waterfront, and he will continue his internship at firm’s Asheville office through the summer.
