Students and mentors met at CannonDesign office. During the first hour, each of the firms (Mortenson, Thornton Tomasetti, CannonDesign and GSA) explained the type of work involved in each field.  In the second hour, the students were taken to the Chicago Architectural Biennial at the Chicago Cultural Center.  Each student was given a worksheet, which they had to try and answer all the questions related to the exhibitions.
