We would like to take a moment to share the announcement of the Travis W. Bond Scholarship made by our Maryland Office: https://lnkd.in/erXYX3RY
Announcing the Travis W. Bond Scholarship In conjunction with the Maryland Society of Surveyors Educational Trust, VIKA Companies is establishing the Travis W. Bond Scholarship in memory of Travis who left this world far too early on March 30, 2024. Travis was born March 15, 1980 in Winchester, VA. After high school he studied land surveying at the Community College of Baltimore (CCBC) in Catonsville, MD. and began his career as a land surveyor with VIKA in 2000. He became a certified survey technician in 2002, received the VIKA Spirit Award in 2004, and was licensed as a Professional Land Surveyor by the Maryland State Board of Professional Land Surveyors in 2015. Travis loved land surveying and was proud of his surveying achievements. Spending most of his career at VIKA, his land surveying practice focused primarily on construction stake out. Outside of work, Travis was an avid outdoorsman, who enjoyed fishing, kayaking, camping, hiking, baseball, and football. His other hobbies included pottery making, wood-working and spending special time with his loving family. He adored his two sons and enjoyed coaching them in the Summit Point Babe Ruth Baseball League. To donate to the Travis W. Bond Scholarship in Travis’ memory, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eqD5DDkU then Click “Make a Donation”. Under “Donor Comments” please note it is for the Travis W. Bond Scholarship.#landsurvey #marylandsocietyofsurveyors #travisbondscholarship
For Landscape Architecture Month, read more about our Maryland Office's latest projects
April is Landscape Architecture Month and VIKA Maryland Landscape Studio is highlighting one if its latest projects. Located in Potomac Maryland, this partially wooded 2-acre property previously contained a circa 1960’s home. Similarly, the owner of this property tore the older building down for a complete new build but retained the natural character of the site topography and allowing the home and outdoor living areas to blend with the natural setting. The outdoor living area was designed to maximize views from the house and provide a multi-level entertainment area that included grilling/dining area and swimming pool and spa. A pond-less water feature was incorporated into the project to provide a soothing sound and focal point for the project.#WLAM #landscapearchitecture #landscapearchitectsPhoto 1 and 4 Credit: Anice Hoachlander Photography
