WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Graduating seniors in the architecture and sustainable design major at Pennsylvania College of Technology will showcase their capstone projects at The Gallery at Penn College from May 10 to 13.

They epitomize a synthesis of acquired skills and knowledge spanning architectural history, theory, design process, visualization, materiality, structural integrity, environmental consciousness, technical detailing, sustainable practices and innovative design ethos. The submissions by the students exude profound meaning, comprehensive insight, exceptional craftsmanship and awe-inspiring creativity, igniting a beacon of inspiration for future generations of architects and building professionals!”
