Young architects will get a helping hand in their aspirations thanks to a $1,000 donation by County Materials to the Wisconsin Architects Foundation in early May. The gift was presented in a special breakfast prior to the American Institute of Architects’ annual state convention held May 16-17 at Monona Terrace in Madison.
The WAF, established in 1953, aims to raise awareness of architecture through funding of architectural education. County Materials has helped the WAF provide scholarships to architecture students and grants for programs. The WAF has awarded more than $325,000 in scholarships to architecture students around the state, established a School of Architecture & Urban Planning at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and restored the Joseph J. Stoner House in Madison, a National Landmark that also is the headquarters for the WAF and the AIA’s Wisconsin branch office.
County Materials operates 30 locations serving the Midwest. The family-owned, American manufacturing company is an industry leader and a diversified supplier of construction and landscaping products for residential, commercial, industrial and municipal project applications.
