VANOMA is proud to partner with AIA Coastal Virginia and the Hampton University Architecture Program, one of only seven HBCUs with an architecture program, to launch a Spring Shadow Studio. This unique initiative will provide first- and second-year architecture students with invaluable shadowing experiences, helping them gain practical insights and professional guidance early in their education.

 

As part of VANOMA’s commitment to supporting students in our NOMAS chapters and fostering diversity in architecture, this program is designed to build pathways toward licensure, increase representation, and equip future architects with essential skills. By nurturing emerging talent, we aim to help Coastal Virginia retain a strong, diverse pipeline of architects who will shape the region’s future.
