What will my responsibilities be as a Graduate Architect at BSA LifeStructures?
Your level of responsibility on a project is based on the size of the project you are working on and your abilities and skill set.

“ My responsibilities have varied from producing a set of construction documents to creating and presenting sketches and computer models to the clients of a free-standing cancer center.”

Will I have any design opportunities and input as an intern?
You will be exposed to many aspects of design as an intern. Our firm’s goal is to enhance our interns’ education with hands-on experience, including design.

“ BSA LifeStructures has given me the opportunity to take the smaller elements of a large project and develop them, from design through construction documents.”

What types of projects will I get to be a part of as an intern?
We are currently working on over 150 different active projects ranging in total project cost from $100,000 to $50 million.

“ My first projects were construction documents for a large clinical laboratory, and schematic design of a small cancer center. Then, I moved on to schematic design of a $30 million dollar laboratory project for Purdue University.”

What opportunities are there to get involved in activities outside of project-related work?
Employees are encouraged to participate in both professional and community organizations as well as BSA LifeStructures-sponsored activities and groups.

“ I participate in a variety of sports activities. This allows me to get to
know people in the office whom I usually don’t work with on a daily basis.“
