University of Florida faculty and students will help advance the field of industrialized construction engineering with $2.5 million in strategic funding from the office of UF President Ben Sasse.
Working together, UF’s College of Design, Construction and Planning, and the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering will seek to revolutionize how the world conceptualizes, designs, and builds affordable and resilient buildings and civil infrastructure.
“The construction and engineering industries are rapidly changing with advances in technology, and we need to adapt and evolve to keep up with that pace,” Sasse said. “The Industrialized Construction Engineering (ICE) project will help UF’s experts use tools like artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic automation to transform the way we design and build.”
