Interior Design Exhibits
Electrical Technology Exhibits
The Expo started in 2013 with a single company providing an opportunity for PSU School of Construction students to experience equipment that they might see in their careers. In 2022, the Expo expanded to include Interior Design and Electrical Technology exhibits and vendors. Students and exhibitors alike have embraced the Expo with more than 100 vendors and 800 attendees in recent years.
Serving as a vital link between a growing industry–construction–and-prospective-hires as young as high school, The School of Construction Expo is designed for students throughout the area, as well as contractors, and instructors to get an opportunity to network and experience first-hand tools, equipment, and techniques used in the field today. Through live demonstrations, presentations, and interactive exhibits, students explore career opportunities, and vendors can interact with potential future employees.
