PACE Annual Activities

PACE operates through an annual cycle of events.

Advisory Board Meeting (Summer)
Kicking off in the summer, the Advisory Board meets to review the outcomes from the past year, discuss trends and upcoming issues in the industry, and ultimately to set the direction for the upcoming year’s events.  Representatives from PACE Member companies meet to discuss key issues facing the building industry, and establish a research agenda for the next year.

Research Roundtable Meeting (Fall)
dsc_0113The cycle moves forward through the Fall Research Roundtable Meeting in the Fall.  At the Roundtable, the direction and trends identified from the Advisory Board meeting are explored in a series of breakout discussions, invited speakers, and panels.  An open forum discussion in which key topics selected by the advisory board are discussed by students and industry practitioners. Specific and target research topics are defined to be pursued by research teams. These discussions are used to engage the graduate and senior undergraduate students in identifying relevant topics for their research.

Research Seminar (Spring)
The events for the year conclude with the Spring Research Seminar.  Held each spring, the research seminar combines presentations of research results and timely speakers for a diverse audience of building industry professional.  At the Seminar industry speakers are brought together with a combination of graduate students and undergraduate students that present the findings from their efforts.  It also allows us the opportunity to recognize the efforts of our participants, through the Hettema Leadership Award given to leaders from our undergraduate students, PACE Excellence Award, and our Hall of Fame induction.
