Manders Merighi Portadin Farrell Architects, LLC has been a part of ACE for the past six years, founding the first ACE team for Cumberland County.
A unique partnership between education and industry, ACE mentors are “architects, interior designers, landscape architects, mechanical, structural, electrical, environmental and civil engineers, construction managers, college and university representatives, and other professionals from related corporations and professional organizations -- who work together to attract young people to their professions.”
Through hands-on projects, design problems, classroom presentations, site visits and discussions, students are challenged to consider how they can have an impact the built environment and at the same consider the various career opportunities available in the design and construction industry.
