Welcome to the future of construction innovation.
The latest episode of Procon’s podcast, The Build Up, comes to you from the newly constructed Procon Innovation Center inside Virginia Tech’s newly constructed Hitt Hall. This lab facility will be the home for researching the next generation of technological advances from 3D concrete printing to robotics.
Procon co-founder and host of The Build Up, Kyu Jung, was joined by recently retired Professor Thomas Mills, who spent his 30+ year tenure as a Hokie championing research and innovation. He even mentored a young Kyu and Mark throughout a graduate school research project about virtual site visits. Spoiler alert–this project later became the inspiration to start Procon Consulting.Thom and Kyu sat down to imagine the future of technology. A VT course on Imagination? A 30-hour work week? Cabinet positions for a U.S. Department of Construction? Interactive construction materials? Nothing was off the table. Tune into the full episode to hear the range of innovative possibilities.
