In its 17th year, teams of five students from at least three disciplines participate in the ideas competition to devise a “development program for a real site in a North American city, providing designs, market-based financial data, and related narratives.” (ULI Hines Student Competition)
The Clemson students competing as a multi-disciplinary team in this year’s challenge include Caitlin Coppinger (MCRP), Sean Dorsy (MRED), Alex Pemberton (MRED), James Poulnot (MRED), and Kendra Waters (MSHP). According to ULI, the competition “challenges students to collaborate across disciplines and imagine a better built environment.”
This year’s team will use the knowledge acquired during their academic years at Clemson University and various design, community planning, preservation and architecture experience each gained individually in their undergraduate education and careers before joining their respective graduate programs.
Each team will have two weeks for design their comprehensive design, January 14-28, 2019. The 2019 site is Cincinnati, Ohio. Toronto hosted the 2018 competition.
