Since its inception in 2007, the Mobile Showroom has logged over 300,000
miles and recently celebrated its 10,000th visitor. The
53-foot custom semi-trailer contains over 20 pieces of loading dock and
warehouse equipment, and will be available for students to walk through
and view different design applications, giving them a hands-on
environment for learning how different pieces of equipment can be used
together to create a safe and productive building. Demonstrators in the
Mobile Showroom will also discuss various building designs and
technologies, as well as energy-efficiency, sustainable equipment,
warehouse logistics and LEED Certification. In addition to the Mobile
Showroom presentations, workshops will be held in the Advanced
Technology Research Center (ATRC) throughout the day.
“We are pleased to continue our tradition of education on proper
building design and technology with relevant, hands-on knowledge of
building design to the future engineers and architects of our industry,”
explains Steve Sprunger, Sr. Vice President of 4Front Engineered
Solutions. “We’re glad that Oklahoma State is as dedicated to providing
this education as we are”.
New technology in the Mobile Showroom includes High Volume Low Speed
fans, solar loading dock packages, and other innovations that contribute
to LEED Certification. 4Front is an American Institute of Architects
Continuing Education Provider with presentation and educational
materials to assist future architects and designers.
