Pacific Project
General Description
The year is 2010. The Pacific
View University
is one of the major research universities in the States. The University decided
to build a new classroom and lab facility on their campus. The facility should
support innovative courses which take a team approach to engineering design.
The facility should function as a partially independent research and education
center. Since the World Wide Web (WWW) / Internet is a commodity, the
University decided to place an announcement and a call for letters of intent in
response to the call for bids on the WWW.
Call for Letters of Intents from AEC Teams
