Community Building, a steel housing example submitted by University of Waterloo students, claimed second place in a North American design competition.

Ontario's University of Waterloo students took second place at the eighth annual Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture/American Institute of Steel Construction (ASCA/AISC) Steel Design Student Competition. The team of David Schellingerhoudt and Lindsey Nette came second in the category of assembling housing for their project entitled "Community Building." Winners in this category were recognized for their investigation of the functional and esthetic uses of steel in urban housing. (First place went to California's Woodbury University team.)

Six hundred students from more than 30 universities across Canada, the United States, and Mexico participated in this year's competition.
