Summer Transformations: Where Design Meets Execution

Every summer, our campus undergoes a remarkable transformation. Behind the operation of our residence halls, dining centers, and student centers is an intricate process that unfolds throughout the year. Much of our time is dedicated to meticulous planning, encompassing design, budgeting, obtaining authorizations, and navigating the bid processes. This extensive preparation culminates in an intense 14-week construction period over the summer, where ideas leap off the page and into reality.
