Rinker School Construction Hall of Fame
The M. E. Rinker, Sr. School of Construction Management announces that Herman H. Block and John McIntyre were selected to be inducted into the Rinker School’s Construction Hall of Fame for 2015.
Block joined the Building Construction Program in the Department of Architecture at UF to teach building construction courses in 1949, and was later appointed to organize the Department of Building Construction, which was formed in 1957. He headed the department until his retirement in 1963 and developed a nationally recognized construction education program. Building Construction alumni and students honored him by establishing the H.H. Block Construction Education Fund in 1968 in recognition of his contribution to the construction industry and for his role in preparing hundreds of students for careers and positions of leadership in the construction industry. Block passed away December 19, 1972.
McIntyre, who graduated from the School of Building Construction in 1984, co-founded his company, McIntyre Elwell & Strammer General Contractors, Inc., 28 years ago. He currently employs 14 BCN alumni and consistently places BCN students every summer working in the internship program. He has also enjoyed returning to UF as a “Professor for a Day.” John serves as an Emeritus Board Member on the BCN Advisory Council (EXCOM) and is also a Board Member on the SunTrust Bank Advisory Board of the Southwest Florida Region and the Education Foundation of Sarasota County.
Looking to hire interns and entry-level professionals? DCP’s career fair provides the opportunity to meet and interview students in the following disciplines: Architecture, Historic Preservation, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning.
