ASCE Awards Top,Honors to Notre Dame Team at Indiana State Meeting  

In March 2005, a team of students from the Department of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences won the American Society of Civil Engineers Student Project Presentation. Team members Kathryn Barrett, South Bend, Ind.; Jennifer Connolly, Williamsville, N.Y.; and Kristen Wright, Clinton Township, Mich., received top honors for the “Proposed African Savannah Exhibit at Potowatomi Zoo.” 

Elements of their proposal included expansion of the giraffe barn with radiant floor heating and automated temperature control, hay

storage, as well as outdoor pens, and  construction of a feeding station and ramp system. The team proposed that the zoo incorporate more natural elements and African-style buildings into the Savannah exhibit; they also suggested other site improvement.

The Notre Dame team competed against teams from the University of Evansville, Indiana-Purdue University at Fort Wayne, Purdue University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, the University of Southern Indiana, Tri-State University, and Valparaiso University. Wilasa Vichit-Vadakan, the Clare Booth Luce
Assistant Professor, was the faculty adviser for the project.
