This week our class made the hike to the I Hotel which is a bit South of campus. I spoke with Thornton Tomasetti and Jimmy Johns, but the longest and most informative conversation came from Nucor. In particular, a subdivision of Nucor was there, called American Buildings. Nucor's made up of 20,000 employees, but American Buildings has about 250 people. They're located in El Paso, IL, and have four internal divisions. They focus on commercial buildings, typically buildings used for manufacturing. In the case that you joined them as an entry level architect, you would be part of a team and focus on detailing and estimating. After buzzing through the facts, I started to talk to them about myself and my Computer Science background. They let me know that they do hire CS students, but I already have an internship lined up.
