Participating Bridge The Gap students will be organized into small groups with their professional mentors to address a building-design challenge. Teams can choose one of three categories of design: Building massing and planning; Building systems; and Detailed design of one space. Each student in the design team will get the opportunity to try out a technical role of their choosing for the day.  Stepping into the role of an architect, various design engineers or construction manager, they will collaborate with their student-team and their professional mentors in a multi-disciplinary design approach.   
* Note: Limited to 60 Students
