Tyler Bares always knew he wanted to be an Architect.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always enjoyed looking at homes,\u201d Bares said. \u201cI grew up in the same house for my entire childhood. So I know the impact that \u2018home\u2019 has on families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following high school, Bares enrolled at a traditional university \u2014 one that offered a Bachelor of Science in Architecture. But just a few days into his first semester, Bares said he quickly discovered it was not the type of education he was looking for.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was expecting to learn [things about Architecture] that were not even mentioned,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe first class was about the theory of design \u2014 it wasn\u2019t what I was ready for. I hardly went to class, and I didn\u2019t enjoy it. At the end of the year I was debating, \u2018do I change schools?\u2019 \u2018Do I change majors?\u2019 Because I just could not stand it. And that\u2019s when I toured Dunwoody.\u201d<\/p>\n

After receiving a tour from Architectural Drafting & Design Senior Instructor Paul Strother, Bares said he was sold.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the projects and the graphics I was seeing \u2014 that\u2019s exactly what I wanted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward 5 years later, Bares not only received his associate\u2019s degree in Architectural Drafting & Design from Dunwoody, but he is also about to earn his Bachelor of Architecture degree later this month.<\/p>\n

He is also the 2018 Academic Excellence Award recipient for the Construction Sciences & Building Technology department.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m completely grateful [to receive the award],\u201d Bares said. \u201cIt\u2019s really motivating and reassuring that all of the work, and the efforts, and the time I\u2019m putting in \u2014 it does pay off.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also validation that transferring to Dunwoody was the right decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think you will ever find a class or a group of students that are as close as we are \u2014 especially in a large, university setting. When you are friends with someone, you care about them. And in our class, that is very evident. We all want each other to succeed, and we all are willing to help each other out. It has created an atmosphere that has enhanced our education in more ways than we can even think of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following graduation, Bares will begin to work full-time at his current employer, Alliiance, a local architecture firm in Minneapolis. He also has plans to travel to places like Puerto Rico, that need rebuilding help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
