Each division is sponsored by a corporate industry leader who provides the project. A group of judges hear the oral presentations, review the written proposal and select the winners. Oregon State's Commercial Building Construction Team placed fourth among the 15 teams competing in their division. Seniors competing in commercial building were Neil Brown of Beaverton, Jeremy Buddress of Lake Oswego, Brett Dutra of Halsey, Corbett Martin of Philomath, Brooke Pollard of Albany, and Brian Wildish of Eugene. A permanent endowment fund established several years ago holds funds earned by OSU student teams.
Interest income is used to support future teams entering the competition.
