University of Kentucky College of Engineering Dedicates David & Margaret Houchin Intech Contracting Construction Management Lab

On Thursday, June 25, 2015, the University of Kentucky College of Engineering dedicated the David & Margaret Houchin Intech Contracting Construction Management Lab along with three other teaching and laboratory spaces. The spaces will be used by the college’s Department of Civil Engineering.

“Outstanding facilities breed creativity and collaboration,” said John Walz, dean of the UK College of Engineering. “They are critical for attracting the best faculty and students to our program, as well as allowing our faculty, staff and students to achieve their fullest potential.”

The David & Margaret Houchin Intech Contracting Construction Management Lab has been upgraded with eight large monitors, as well as new furniture, lighting and white boards. This lab will enhance the interactive group work that is part of the construction management curriculum.

Intech currently employs several Department of Civil Engineering graduates from the University of Kentucky. Mr. Houchin, himself a UK Engineering alumnus, founded Intech Contracting 1991. He is a charter member of the College of Engineering Construction Management Founders Society and received the Construction Management Founders Society Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009.
