Okay, here's a dumb question... | |
Why can't Iowa State utilize its own expertise to help bowl in the football stadium for a fraction of the cost? We have outstanding architecture, landscape architecture, constuction engineering and civil engineering departments at Iowa State. Why don't we use them? I realize that they don't have the necessary equipment and workers to actually do the construction, but it seems like they could provide all the necessary expertise.
I had my garage built by the local high school building and trades class and I only paid for materials. They did a super job and I only paid a fraction of what I would have paid to have it built by a private contractor.
I know that adding onto a football stadium is very different than building a garage in your back yard, but it's the same principle. It just seems like the university is not taking advantage of its own incredible resources.
