, longtime 91探花 photographer and lecturer in the Department of Architecture, died last weekend. He was 64. He is remembered as a talented photographer and a dedicated teacher and mentor to students.

There will be a public celebration of Stamets’ life and work from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 15, in the courtyard on the main floor of Gould Hall.

Stamets joined the 91探花faculty in 1992 and ran the Architecture Photo Lab in the basement of Gould Hall. He designed a photography class for future architects and a “special projects” class where students photographed a single subject in depth.

“John has been a key member of our college community for the past 22 years and will be greatly missed by all of us,” said Jeffrey Ochsner, professor of architecture and associate dean for academic affairs of the College of Built Environments. “We offer his family our condolences at this time of great loss.”

Stamets specialized in documenting the rise and fall of historic buildings with large-format photography. In 2011 he covered the UW’s expansion of new buildings on the west side of campus in a blog aptly titled “.”

He also photographed construction of the Seattle Central Public Library and the Experience Music Project, the rehabilitation of King Street Station and many other building projects. He published the book in 1987 with writer Steve Dunnington.

Friends say Stamets always carried a camera, partly because he was convinced the Aurora Bridge would collapse and he wanted the shot.

That never happened, but at 10:07 a.m. on Feb. 25, 1987, he got one of the most historic sequences of photographs in 91探花history, capturing the collapse of the 17,000-seat addition to Husky Stadium.

Told earlier of a crack in the structure’s steel framework, Stamets found a nearby position and waited, camera in hand.

“I was totally psyched. I just started shooting,” he told the editor of Columns, the 91探花Alumni Association magazine. “Then it started to go. I thought, ‘Oh my God, it’s happening right now.’ I had been standing there for only 10 minutes.”

This week the newest 91探花Medicine Sports Medicine Center opened its doors to the community.

The clinic, housed at the south end of Husky Stadium, relocated from its old spot next to Edmundson Pavillion. The move-out took only three days, but the project began in late 2010.

The new location 鈥� and spacious 30,000 square foot facility 鈥� makes coming to appointments and treatment sessions more convenient for patients, because their doctors, surgeons, physical therapists, radiologists, and other sports medicine specialists are now gathered underneath the same roof.

鈥淚鈥檓 extremely excited to work with this amazing group of physicians,鈥� said Dr. Mark Harrast, medical director of the new center.聽 鈥淥ur new location enables us to provide an even higher level of care using a collaborative, team-based approach.鈥� Harrast is a 91探花clinical associate professor of rehabilitation medicine and of orthopedics and sports medicine.

The new facility offers the same treatment and care options as the other three 91探花Medicine sports medicine clinics, as well as special services, including an expanded Physical Therapy Clinic and Sports Cardiology and Running Medicine programs. The center is home to a brand-new Sports Performance Center where injured athletes can undergo rehabilitation and healthy athletes can work on 鈥減rehab鈥� strategies to prevent sports injury and improve performance.

One of the features of the Exercise Performance Center is an anti-gravity treadmill. The treadmill works by decreasing an athlete鈥檚 body weight during running, tthereby taking pressure off the legs. Small cameras at the base of the treadmill allow runners to see their own stride on a large television screen as they run. The treadmill is used for rehabilitation after injury, as well as for training

Other therapies featured are platelet-rich plasma treatment for chronic tendon injuries, and musculoskeletal ultrasound for diagnosing muscle and tendon injuries, as well as treating these injuries with ultrasound-guided injections.

The specialists at the new center treat anyone with a passion for activity, from recreation enthusiasts to college athletes like the 91探花Huskies and professionals like the Seattle鈥檚 Seahawks and Mariners.

鈥淓ven though our physicians treat high-performing athletes, we are also here for the weekend warrior and the general public,鈥� said Harrast. 鈥淎nyone with activity-related pain, be it from hiking, gardening, golf, or running a marathon, is welcome to see us.鈥�

Other 91探花Medicine sports medicine care locations include Harborview Medical Center, the 91探花Medical Center at Roosevelt, and the Eastside Specialty Center in Bellevue.

The Sports Medicine Center at Husky Stadium is holding an open house for the general public from 1-3 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 19. Parking will be free. Come to the South Entrance of Husky Stadium and proceed up to the first floor.
