β€œI am proud of this young team for performing so well,” said Interim Associate Head of the Department of Building Construction Science Michele Herrmann. β€œThe competition requires a significant amount of time and effort from the students and coaches. The experience they gained this year will be a great asset in future competitions.”

Team member Drescher agreed. β€œI enjoyed the experience there and being exposed to so much information. I learned so much in such a short amount of time and was able to get a short glimpse at how much more there is to learn about this industry.”
