A group of students from the School of Architecture took home second place in the American Institute of Architects, Custom Residential Architects Network (AIA CRAN) and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA)’s 2017 HERE+NOW: A House for the 21st Century Residential Student Design Competition. The competition had more than 560 students, and faculty participants from a host of major universities across the U.S. PVAMU’s team included Sean Benson, Jabbar Cobbs, Shannen Martin, Kimberly Montgomery, Emanuel Soito, Hobed Villanueva, and Shelly Pottorf (faculty). They designed an affordable, net-zero energy solution called “The Dogtrot Duo” for the Independence Heights community in Houston, Texas.
