PACE operates through an annual cycle of events.

Advisory Group 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 provide direction for the program  Representatives from PACE contributors meet to discuss key issues facing the building industry, and identify opportunities and ideas.

Roundtable Meeting (Fall)
The cycle moves forward through the Fall 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  are discussed by students and industry practitioners. These discussions are used to engage the graduate and senior undergraduate students in identifying relevant topics for their research, as well as creating networking opportunities for both students and industry members.

Seminar (Spring)
The events for the year concluded 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 professionals.  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 Leadership Award given to leaders from our undergraduate students, PACE Excellence Award, and our Hall of Fame induction.
