We're making some changes to improve your experience with SPUR events.
Starting this June, you'll need to register for each event you plan to attend. This will help us tailor events and keep you informed of any changes to our schedule. You can register using the link in the Admission section below.

 

Developers and architects can often fall back on familiar forms of building construction, lending to the sense that all new projects feel the same. But with a variety of new building methods finding their way into plans, codes and pro-formas, change is on the horizon. Hear what it takes to break the mold of the status quo and what some of the most promising new building types, from modular to mass timber, have to offer those looking to build outside of the box.
