• B.A., University of Virginia

Capping a wide-ranging career in architectural and furniture design, real estate development, writing, and community service, Andrews' current teaching and research interests are several: She seeks to foster an appreciation of design opportunities in the inevitable constraints of contingency and the code, client and community interests inherent in architecture; She hopes to establish a program in Hampton Roads using emerging GIS interfaces for verbal and visual records of buildings in historic urban neighborhoods as an outgrowth of a public education program and as an armature for documenting social history and community conversation.
