It was the first CM@Risk DOT project in the state, winning several national awards and recognitions. The project team met some challenges along the way, including enduring six hurricanes.

Join Haskell Company in Supporting UF Solar Decathlon Team

Tim Good, BCN 1972

"The Solar Decathlon embodies the concept of integrated design-build, which is the way Haskell delivers projects to our clients. We feel it is so important to teach students what design-build really is. It requires a completely different level of cooperation between the design side and the construction side. It is an excellent opportunity for us to support this great team effort."

– Tim Good, BCN 1972
Vice President, Haskell Company

The Haskell Company has donated time, expertise and $8,000 worth of materials to the UF Solar Decathlon Team. Special thanks to Chris Holmes, ARC 1974, Project Design Principal, Boyd Worsham, Vice President, and Steve Gibson, Haskell Steel Fabrication.

The UF Solar Decathlon Team is scheduled to compete in Madrid, Spain, as part of the inaugural Solar Decathlon Europe competition. Out of 20 universities from around the world, UF is one of two U.S. universities competing to design and build a self-sufficient home, using solar energy as the only energy source.

You can be part of this effort. Join the team of supporters today by donating online or contacting Development Director Lynne Capece at 352-392-4836, ext. 314, or lcapece@dcp.ufl.edu.

When Did You Become A Florida Gator?

DCP alumni share their stories of when they first became part of The Gator Nation.

Kurt Crist, LAE 1988
"I am a Gator by birth, born at Shands and lived in northeast Gainesville until I was 13 and moved to Sarasota. Nothing could stop me from getting back up to Gainesville for my education. Things sure did change from the time I left in 1976 until I returned in 1984 but I was glad to be back. Since my father worked at Shands and I attended PK Yonge, I was always around campus usually walking over to Shands or the Engineering Dept. Buildings where a neighbor and schoolmate's father worked to get a ride home. Shands sure changed also. When I returned I couldn't quite remember which entry I came into or where it was to get to my Dad's office. Boy, those were great times running through campus. I still have friends living in Gainesville and I do get back whenever I can."

Jason Fisher, M.Arch 2004, ARC 2001
"I officially became a Florida Gator on Jan. 1, 1994, at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Family friends, proud members of The Gator Nation had invited us to come along to watch our first Gator game. After being heckled the days leading up to the game by the overconfident Mountaineers, upset they weren't playing for the national title, but instead disrespected and playing #8 Florida, game time finally came and West Virginia quickly scored the first points. One vicious hit on Mountaineer QB Darren Studstill by Gator DB Monty Grow and 41 unanswered points later, I was officially a Florida Gator and would apply two years later and enroll in the summer of 1996."
