A Leader in Smart Manufacturing

In one of the most prominent and demanding national competitions ever sponsored by General Motors and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, a Lawrence Tech team in 1987 took first prize among 60 top universities in designing a highly advanced Factory of the Future.

Manufacturing experts praised the effort, which has been a source of continuing study by architects and others.  Said one, “These students have proven they know exactly what needs to be done!”
