Farmington, CT – KBE Building Corporation will continue its new SPECS initiative to support university students pursuing construction management, engineering, architectural, and related degrees. SPECS, which stands for Student Participation and Experience at Construction Sites, allows undergraduate students to gain invaluable, hands-on experience at actual job sites.
KBE has long encouraged student participation on its university projects. For example, while expanding a dormitory building at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) students worked closely with KBE and the architectural team from Newman Architects. They collaborated on aspects of the “green” roof and several other design options during the pre-construction phase. The same students will be afforded access to the construction site to see the implementation of their design assistance.
The SPECS initiative is not limited to engineering students, however. Construction Management students at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland are logging time at the job site of a new Harris Teeter store in nearby Olney, MD.
