ing masters student Nicolai
Kruger had a story about each room in
the School of Architecture: The long
lines at the printer when finals rolled
around; the projects of student-de
signed light fixtures for Cafe Roma;
and the sun-dial-shaped tool that
measures the effectiveness of the light.

received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree
in interior design from Cornish
College of the Arts in Seattle and took
a year off to practice design before
enrolling at the University in fall 2001.
After three years, she will receive her
Masters of Architecture degree June 12.

would like to design projects such as
museums, airports and bus stations.

Kruger will now work in a firm for
