On April 6, third-year Construction Science, Architecture and Interior Design students travelled to Dallas for an interdisciplinary field trip. The students got to learn from industry professionals and gain hands on experience at a construction job site and architecture office.
The group of students met with a construction project team, Andres Construction Services, a design project team, Omniplan, and a project owner, Stillwater Capital, to understand how each discipline works together to execute a successful project. They also visited AD EX in Dallas to spend some time in their latest exhibit, the Lego Lab.
About 70 students attended the trip, joined by faculty members Erin Colwell, Chelsea Holcomb, Ben Bigelow, Matt Reyes, Sam Callahan and Francesco Cianfarani.
