US2 and Gilbane visit with Somerville High School Students

US2 and its development team partners continued our collaboration with the Somerville High School Career and Technical Education program and hosted the third “Learning Lab” session with Somerville High School Seniors this month. The goal of the program is to introduce Somerville High School to the real estate, design and construction industry through exposure to the Union Square Revitalization Project.  

During this 90-minute session with the students, Ian Carney, Virtual Design and Construction Manager from Gilbane, engaged the students in a conversation regarding the use of technology in the construction process.   As part of the session, Ian completed a 3D scan of the classroom in real-time to showcase  cutting-edge construction technology and offered some real-world examples of how it’s been used to help solve construction challenges.

Previous “Learning Lab” sessions included a discussion with Howeler + Yoon Architecture entitled the “Day in the Life of an Architect” and another session with the US2 Development Team entitled “Union Square Revitalization”.
