This month, the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and the A. James Clark School of Engineering hosted a one-day symposium that explored the challenges encountered by design and construction professionals in the face of integrated project delivery, emerging technologies and the pressure for more efficient construction. Held at the Washington, D.C. office of the National Council for Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), the symposium assembled UMD faculty and a host of professionals from the greater Baltimore-DC area to discuss how professionals can adapt and prosper in a changing construction environment. Topics covered performance-based design, new construction efficiencies and the communication challenges and opportunities associated with integrated project delivery.
