The Grenfell Tower Tragedy – Could it Happen  Here?

This course will explore the publicly available facts related to what happened at Grenfell Tower in London, England, during the fire in 2017, the AEC contributing activities during the renovation, and the parallels to AEC activities that commonly occur on North American projects that could contribute to a similar outcome here in the U.S.
