McNeese State University, located in Lake Charles, LA was recently awarded a PCI Foundation Studio. The studio program, which is composed of industry partners and academia, will focus on precast products and their use in the petrochemical industry. Industry partners Alfred Miller Contracting, Dunham Price and Tindall Corp will provide support for the program in various ways including plant tours, guest lectures and invitations to industry events. Professor Ahmed Abdel-Mohti will serve as the school champion and primary driver of the studio program, in conjunction with PCI Gulf South. We are delighted to add McNeese State University to the PCI Foundation studio program as we strive to educate our future designers and decision makers on the wonderful world of precast building products.
