Follow on Google News | 2024 MBMA Student Design Competition Now OpenBy: MBMA Registration is free to full-time graduate and undergraduate students, but all entrants are required to have a faculty sponsor. "Now in its fourth year, the competition has continued to grow each year and introduce metal building systems to students across the country and North America," says W. Lee Shoemaker, Ph.D., PE, MBMA director of research and engineering and contest organizer. "This year's topic is a popular one that should draw in even more competitors. Metal building systems offer an enormous range of possibilities and are in particular demand for sports and recreation facilities." Robert Kobet advised the Kent State team in that took home first prize in the 2022 competition and is an adjunct professor in Kent State's College of Architecture & Environmental Design. Of the competition experience he says: "I am amazed about how much my students learned about putting together any building (structure, skin, mechanicals, etc.) because of this competition." A total of six prizes will be given and awards will be divided between the students and faculty sponsors. Teams may also enter, and prizes will be divided and distributed equally to each member of a registered team. Contest winners will be announced on Feb. 25, 2025. Additionally, honorable mention awards may be given at the judges' discretion. Further details about design parameters, judging criteria and submission requirements are available at www.mbmaeducation.org. Also, questions can be addressed to Lee Shoemaker at mbma@mbma.com. End
