What can students expect

ArchEngBuild is a sprint challenge, teams receive a brief and have a limited amount of time to create a concept solution design. Its fast paced, tiring and exciting, but you’ll leave the experience with a huge sense of achievement and friendships that will follow you into your careers.

It’s also a unique opportunity to collaborate with students from different disciplines, receive mentorship from industry experts, and have their work showcased to current industry leaders.
