“We’re happy to make the Design Manualavailable to the future stonemasons of South Western Sydney Institute at Miller College,” said Mike Loflin, MIA’s Industry Research & Information Manager. “This is beneficial for the trade and the industry as a whole.”

This posting is the most recent in the MIA’s long history of outreach towards architectural, design and masonry students. In 2011, the MIA donated a copy of the Dimension Stone Design Manual v 7.2 to every architectural college library in the U.S., an effort it plans to replicate in 2014, with the launch of version 8.0.
