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.

It's 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 career.

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