2026 Concrete Masonry Competition: Welcome Center
<\/a>Registration Deadline:\u00a0Wednesday,\u00a0April 8, 2026
Submission\u00a0Deadline:\u00a0Wednesday,\u00a0June 3, 2026<\/p>\n

“This design competition challenges students to envision a next-generation Welcome Center, crafted primarily from concrete masonry products. Far from ordinary rest stops, these centers are gateways to new experiences, offering a place of arrival, pause, and possibility. Your mission? Transform this essential welcome center into a dynamic landmark, multifunctional hub. The future Welcome Center must weave together a tapestry of uses: a beacon for visitor information, a culinary stopover with one or more restaurant outlets, a communal dining space, zones for rest and relaxation, child-friendly play areas, accessible restrooms, a pet relief station, emergency aid facilities, and critically, areas of refuge. It must be universally accessible, resilient in the face of change, and forward-thinking in its design.<\/p>\n
