MIA Dimension Stone Design Manual Posted to Australian Stonemasonry School’s Library

The Marble Institute of America’s (MIA) Dimension Stone Design Manual has been posted to South Western Sydney Institute’s online intranet library. It will serve students in the Stonemasonry course at MillerCollege. This course offers a range of stonemasonry experiences that seek to meet the needs of the industry.  At the same time it provides traditional core craft skills .

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

This posting is the most recent in the MIA’s 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 United States, an effort they plan to replicate in 2014, with the launch of version 8.0.
