P2SL-LCI-AIA LEAN DESIGN FORUM 2016

Sponsors

UC Berkeley’s Project Production Systems Laboratory (P²SL), the Lean Construction Institute (LCI), and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) co-hosted the Lean Design Forum (with AIA offering continuing education credit). The Forum meets twice a year, in Berkeley early in the year, and in the Midwest mid-year.

This year’s Berkeley Forum took place on Thursday and Friday, January 28 and 29, 2016 at the Hs Lordships Restaurant at the Berkeley marina.
