All companies are being challenged by .these new technologies. The challenge is made more difficult because the AEC industries have limited research and development capabilities, and still operate under increasingly obsolete craft and in-field practices.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe DBL has been formed six years ago to respond to this challenge. Universities have a potentially significant role to facilitate development, train and promote effective adoption of these new capabilities by leading industries.

The DBL is an umbrella organization, housed in the College of Architecture at Georgia Tech that brings together the resources of multiple schools and colleges to address new or emerging problems\/opportunities in architecture, construction and fabrication.
