The resolution recognizes and commends the faculty members and research assistants from the Auburn University School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture (APLA) for their exceptional work in creating over 150 miniature scale models of the new Alabama State House. This new building, commissioned by the Alabama Legislature and designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Goodwyn Mills Cawood, is set to replace the existing 1963 structure and enhance the urban complex that includes the Alabama State Capitol. The models, which serve as commemorative tokens for legislators, were produced through a collaborative effort involving APLA faculty, student research assistants, and the information technology department.

The resolution highlights the expertise of key faculty members, including Associate Professor Robert Sproull, Assistant Professors Frank Hu and Ernesto Bilbao, and Engineering Tech Jon Byler, each bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge in architecture, landscape design, and engineering. The team also included several research assistants who contributed to the project. The creation of these detailed models required a high level of skill and interdisciplinary collaboration, showcasing the dedication and ingenuity of the APLA team. The resolution concludes by expressing appreciation for their contributions, which reflect the highest standards of academic excellence and public service.
