High Point Park Case Competition
A longer post than I’d like–sorry. I couldn’t find a link to an external website.
Please mark your calendars for the Institute for Social Innovation’s high-profile, cash prize case competition scheduled the first week of spring semester. The High Point Park Case Competition will start on January 14 and finish on January 19, 2010. In this case, we will have architecture students provide a design for a particular space. Then, masters-level students from Heinz, Tepper and other departments will team together to provide the business case for a particular architectural design. The goal is to achieve a triple bottom line: financial sustainability, benefit to society, and green.
Only five teams will have the opportunity to compete, on a first-to-sign-up basis so please sign up soon! To sign up for the High Point Park Case Competition, please send an email to Babs Carryer, Innovation Advisor for the Institute of Social Innovation (bcarryer@cmu.edu) on or before January 13, 2010. Please indicate in the email your department and year.
Anyone participating in the case must come to the briefing session on Thursday, January 14, 2010, at 5pm in the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry, CFA Room 111. If you have a class conflict please let me know and we will see what we can do. At the briefing session, we will form you into five cross-disciplinary teams. Again, only five teams will be selected.
You will have five days to work on the case. Presentations will be in Gates/Hillman Center, room 6115, on Tuesday, January 19, 2010, starting at 4pm in front of a panel of guest judges. Cash awards for first and second place and reception will be from 7-8pm in the same room in Gates/Hillman.
You will receive a reminder at the top of next semester, but we urge you to sign up as soon as possible to make sure you can be in one of the five teams.
This competition is an interdisciplinary project sponsored within CMU by the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry (College of Fine Arts), School of Architecture (College of Fine Arts), Institute for Social Innovation (Heinz College), Tepper School of Business, and Project Olympus (School of Computer Science).
