Join us for the Fall 2024 Penn Weitzman Alumni Association (PWAA) Firm Tour Series! This is a great opportunity for students to venture off campus and discover local firms and organizations. We also invite the alumni that work at these firms to participate! During each presentation you will get a chance to ask questions and tour the office space.
Please let us know two days prior to the visit if you are unable to attend. (The firms take time to prepare a presentation, so we need to know the actual number of students that will be in attendance.)
There will be tours and presentations from the following (please arrive on time):

DIGSAU, 4pm – 5pm, 340 N 12th St, Philadelphia, PA 19107. Contemporary architecture, urbanism, and environmental design.
