The University of New Brunswick’s first annual design competition showcases Canadian student design innovation in modular, prefabricated, panelized, and other types of off-site construction. The competition is presented by the Off-site Construction Research Centre, a research group dedicated to optimizing alternate solutions to on-site construction.

The objective of this competition is to introduce students to off-site construction, inspire innovation, and to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. Additionally, the competition will showcase the many potential benefits to off-site construction including, cost savings, reduced construction timelines, improved safety, and improved construction quality.

All students and recent grads registered in a full-time college or university program within the last 12 months are eligible to participate in this competition. This includes all diploma, undergraduate and graduate programs.
