Home » CASE STUDY: Atlas Roofing Partners with University of Kansas Students for Real-World Construction Experience
The University of Kansas KU School of Architecture and Design offers graduate students a comprehensive, rigorous curriculum to prepare them for their future architectural careers. Graduate students entering their final year of the masters of architecture program have the opportunity to participate in an educational project with Studio 804, a nonprofit organization focused on the research and development of sustainable, innovative and affordable building solutions.
As part of the Studio 804 program, students are responsible for the design and construction of an energy-efficient building — from establishing budgets, hiring consultants and getting permits, through to the actual construction of the project. This also includes procuring donations from building material suppliers. The 2020 class, led by Professor Dan Rockhill, turned to Atlas Roofing Corporation to supply energy-saving, sustainable building envelope solutions for their single-family residence in Lawrence, Kan.
