The School of Construction and Design Technologies (with substantial industry support) annually sponsors the event, which shares with the architecture majors the hands-on skills required to turn their artistry into actuality. Glenn R. Luse and Richard R. Motter, instructors of building construction, worked with the guests throughout the day, which ended with an informal competition among student projects.
