On Tuesday, Jan. 30, teams of architecture, construction science and interior design students presented their design concepts to a jury during the annual CoA C5 Competition. Join us in congratulating the following students on their winning design:
Each year, the C5 Competition partners with a local organization or company to help identify their particular design needs. This year, we partnered with the Osage Forest of Peace, a spiritual retreat center. Special thanks are due to Elizabeth Pober, interior design director; Ben Bigelow, construction science director; and Tiziana Proietti, architecture faculty, for coordinating and executing the competition effortlessly!
