The Partnership of Virtual Ability, Inc. and the Alliance Library System is extremely pleased to announce the selection of a building team for our new Second Life island called Virtual Ability. Sambivalent Spork, Sabine Stonebender and Anhayla Lycia will be working closely with project coordinators Carolina Keats and Eme Capalini to construct a welcome center, an orientation center with beginning, intermediate and advanced areas, and several training and meeting facilities.

Sambivalent, Sabine and Anhayla have completed many high quality builds and bring with them years of experience in education and design technology. They also have a commitment to supporting the growth of nonprofit SL communities such as Virtual Ability, Dreams, and a number of charitable efforts.

We would like to express a special word of appreciation to the VAI/ALS Building Advisory Committee that has provided guidance to the island design and oversaw the evaluation of proposals from 6 different builders. This committee will continue to provide oversight during the build process. The members of this committee consist of Namav Abramovic, Namro Orman, Ricken Flow, Stepinwolf Darkstone, and The Sojourner.

We anticipate a two month build process. Access to Virtual Ability island will be restricted during construction.
