Park(ing) Day 2022--We converted two parking spaces into a parklet!What is LABash?
LABash is an annual student-run Landscape Architecture conference hosted annually since 1970. LABash2023 will take place at Kansas State University from March 29th - March 31st, 2023. The three-day conference features lectures from professors and professionals, design workshops, charrettes, and ample networking opportunities. Specialized workshops allow students to expand upon their skill set and prepare them to enter the professional force. Additionally, the conference is a great opportunity for students to become involved in the landscape architecture community by meeting both students and professionals! Many students have maintained friendships and professional relationships with people they met at LABash. Click here to learn more.
