ATU has scooped first place in the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) “Tomorrow’s Leaders Student Challenge Ireland” competition which took place in Dundalk IT.
The team from the ATU Galway Dept of Building & Civil Engineering beat 10 other university teams.
The challenge involved coming up with a strategy or methodology for tackling the global housing crisis.
Sarah Hallinan, Regional Manager Ireland at CIOB, says it’s an incredibly difficult challenge, putting aspiring construction professionals’ minds to the test, asking them to come up with complex sustainable solutions which they must present to a panel of experts in a very short space of time.
