Carleton University Team partakes in the APT PETC Student Design-Build Competition in Seattle, USA

The Carleton University Team participated in this year’s Association for Preservation Technology (APT) Preservation Engineering Technical Committee (PETC) Student Design-Build Competition. In this competition, the Carleton team took part in analyzing, designing, and constructing a masonry arch based on historic construction practices. The Team had the opportunity to travel to the APT conference in Seattle, USA to present their work and construct a dry-stack arch with rigid insulation as their “masonry” material.

The full list of team members include (not all pictured): Elyse Hamp, Krista Rowan, Abi Kang, Lorenzo Bressan, Kate Wishewan, including several other esteemed members, supervised by Assistant Professor, Bora Pulatsu. Thank you to Carleton University, Merkley Supply Ltd., PCL Construction, and Atwill-Morin for supporting the students in this competition!
