Lessons for Students in Collaborative Project Delivery

03.25.2026 | 2:00 PM EDT | 1 AIA LU/HSW; 0.1 ICC CEU

This webinar is part of Architectural Record’s ongoing series designed for students and emerging professionals, offering insights from industry leaders to inspire the next generation of architects.

Bringing architects, engineers, and contractors to the table during a project’s design phase can offer rewards in building efficiency, constructability, and design refinement. However, managing collaboration between an expanded design team can create its own set of challenges.

On March 25, join RECORD and three panelists—from architecture firm Ennead, environmental consultant Atelier Ten, and structural and facade engineering studio Büro Ehring—who frequently incorporate design-assist methods into their work. Speakers will highlight their respective methodologies and recent case studies, including Princeton University’s Briger Hall, Commons, and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences; and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, among others.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss the potential building performance benefits of a design-assist approach.

Outline the impact of design-assist on constructability.

Identify the challenges presented by design-assist delivery.

Explore multidisciplinary collaboration as a means of improving design.

Speakers:

Holger Schulze Ehring - Principal, Büro Ehring

Matt Dionne - Principal, Ennead Architects

Shanta Tucker - Director, Atelier Ten
