Edmonds student part of winning WSU design-build team

Marie Landsverk, of Edmonds, was part of a team of Washington State University construction management students that recently earned second place in the Design-Build Institute of America’s national student competition in Las Vegas. Thirty-one teams from 23 universities participated.

“The student competitions are as close to real life in the design and construction industry as possible,” said David Gunderson, team advisor and associate professor of WSU’s School of Design and Construction.

For the competition, students developed a fictitious company, then produced within a one-week deadline a design plan, schedule and cost estimates for a fictitious parking facility with a recreation field and classrooms.
