The 19th Rinker International Symposium was held on May 4-5 at the Harn Museum of Art. The topic was State-of-the-Art of Modular Construction. The organizers of the event were DCP, Rinker School of Construction Management, Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment and the Powell Center for Construction & Environment.
The reason modular construction was chosen as this year’s topic is that it shifts a significant fraction of construction from on-site activities to the manufacturing of major components in factory settings. It has the potential of significantly increasing the speed of construction while lowering costs.
