Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) Design-Build Award
The FACT project Omaha Mobile Stage won an Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) Design-Build Award in the 2023 Architectural Education Awards. The 2023 Architectural Education Awards honor architectural educators for exemplary work in areas such as building design, community collaborations, scholarship, and service. The award-winning professors inspire and challenge students, contribute to the profession’s knowledge base, and extend their work beyond the borders of academia into practice and the public sector. The Design-Build Award honors the best practices in school-based design-build projects.
FACT (Fabrication And Construction Team) is a collaborative student designbuild studio at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln that engages design, fabrication, and construction projects with cultural and non-profit clients. FACT is a forum for exploring the complex relationships between thinking (conceiving, designing, theorizing) and making. Where academic design studios focus on ideation, conceptualization, and design development, FACT explores the creative opportunities residing in the development and realization of projects. FACT was founded in 2001 by Professor Jeffrey L. Day, FAIA and frequently collaborates with Actual Architecture Company.
