I was involved in the very early stages of the project and wanted to continue following the project through its process to finalization. This is a great opportunity as a student and as a university. It is a great accomplishment as well as a learning experience to work with colleagues and faculty to produce a building starting from concept design to completion and ultimately to construction.

I was initially appointed to overlook the overall performance of the GRoW Home in regards to efficiency and performance. I have been in charge of researching doors and windows according to these performance criteria as well as producing detail drawings and calculations that provide evidence of their efficiency. In addition to this, I have also been producing lighting analysis to aid in the design process.

Though I am not a Buffalo native, I have been a student here for my entire college career and GRoW Buffalo is a great achievement for the city and the university. GRoW Buffalo is a fantastic way to conclude my college career and apply the knowledge and skillsets I have gained over the years. GRoW Buffalo is a project that I will be honored to say I was a part of and continue to inform others in the future to gain recognition.
