Insight Studio Trip | Inside the Future Of Modular Housing

May 15 @ 6:30 am - 3:30 pm

| $120 – $180

What you’ll experience:

  • A guided facility tour of Volumetric Building Companies (VBC), one of the nation’s leading modular construction manufacturers, where entire building systems are fabricated under one roof with precision and speed.
  • A real-world application of pre-fabricated housing unfolding in our own community. Members of Cal Poly’s Facilities Team will join us for the tour and a discussion about what this technology means for campus development.
  • A conversation about the bigger picture. Modular construction is reshaping how communities tackle housing production, affordability and sustainable development, and this technology could help SLO County build faster and get more units online.
  • Why this matters to SLO. Housing is one of our region’s most pressing challenges, and traditional construction timelines and costs make solutions difficult. Modular building approaches offer a compelling opportunity for SLO County, and this trip will offer the opportunity to see it firsthand to understand what’s possible.
