This week, employees from Tecton participated in the concluding presentation for the team they have been guiding through the ACE Mentor Program of Connecticut. This initiative connects high school students with industry professionals to motivate them to explore careers in architecture, construction management, and engineering.   The Hartford Team 3 showcased their project titled "Emergency Shelter," aimed at assisting men, women, and children in transitioning from homelessness to stable housing by providing a dignified, safe, and clean environment. Their design encompassed not only the building itself but also the surrounding site, ensuring a secure atmosphere that integrated architectural and landscape planning, as well as structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and construction elements. Congratulations to Team 3 for their outstanding presentation, which highlighted their commitment and expertise in architecture, engineering, and construction. Tecton is dedicated to nurturing the future of the industry through the ACE program, supporting the development of the next generation of designers, engineers and managers. Special thanks are extended to the mentor firms that collaborated with us, including Covenant Shelter of New London, Hallam-ICS, Szewczak, Kilty & Fluhr Structural Engineers, P.C., Fuss & O'Neill, and The Associated Construction Company. #ACEMentor #FutureArchitects #DesigningChange #STEMEducation #AECIndustry
