West Coast Employees Participate in "CANstruction"

For the second year, our Suffolk West Coast team volunteered their time and talent to participate in CANstruction, an event that is devoted to fighting hunger in the Orange County area. This year, 14 teams from architecture, engineering and construction firms and design schools competed to construct 10 x 10 x 8 sculptures made entirely out of whole canes of food, and exhibited for one month at the world renowned South Coast Place in Costa Mesa, CA. Suffolk’s entry this year was a replica of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Stadium appropriately named “Strike Out Hunger”. Suffolk’s team used Building Information Modeling (BIM) to virtually design the miniature stadium, and incorporate the words “Strike Out Hunger” with the labels of the cans alongside the stadium. As a result, the team contributed 6,000 of the 60,000 cants to the Orange County Food Bank at the close of the exhibition.
