    Join ULI Pittsburgh as we celebrate the ULI Hines Competition Honorable Mention Team from CMU. 

    The ULI Hines Student Competition is an urban design and real estate development competition that challenges graduate students to collaborate across disciplines and imagine a better built environment.

    A total of 105 teams (525 students) from 61 universities in the U.S., Canada, and Singapore participated in the first round of the 2021 competition, January 11-25, 2021. This year, the KC Knot Team from Carnegie Mellon University received an Honorable Mention for their outstanding long-term vision and clear mission statement, which addressed old physical and racial divides. They particularly appreciated the focus on multimodal transportation.

    The team and their advisors will be on hand to share more about the competition and their experience. Attendees will get to see the team’s presentation firsthand and participate in a Q&A.
