South Dakota State University School of Architecture Student Iman Ebadi traveled to the 2018 PCI Convention and was able to share his experiences as he took part in the SDSU Precast studio sponsored by Gage Brothers Precast in Sioux Falls, SD. Not only the the studio students design a town square for the small rural community, but with the help of Gage, they fabricated the precast and built the project.
This type of hands-on, experiential learning has shown to play a crucial role in helping students learn and retain new information on concepts and ideas. It goes beyong traditional studio learning in schools of architecture to help deliver exceptional ROI.
