The annual competition, sponsored by Portman Architects, marks the culmination of a three-semester project that begins in a thesis prep course, where students work with faculty to determine which architectural topic to explore, and continues during a research course where students further investigate the topic and begin work with their advisors. In the final semester, fifth-year architecture students take part in a studio, where they combine their research and architectural skills to offer a new perspective on the topic.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the College of Architecture and Construction Management (CoACM)! The college and departments of Architecture and Construction Management are filled with extraordinary faculty and staff who are here to serve the students in the start of their journey. This journey is not simply the time spent in classrooms or design studios over the next few years, but will be a life-long experience, one which starts with a strong foundation from the CoACM.

The disciplines of architecture and construction management are inherent in our everyday lives. In our homes, places of worship, businesses, recreation and leisure we are reminded of the importance of good design and well managed projects. The built environment is around us all and plays a vital role in our mental and physical well-being, which in-turn affects our interpersonal relationships.

It is our ambition to nurture students through the rigors of these highly complex areas of study and provide them with experiences which will prepare them to be the next leaders of industry.

We are building professionals!

Best,

Dr. Andrew Phillip Payne
Dean and Professor of Architecture
