Canstruction has officially kicked off and registration is now open! We recently had our 2025 Canstruction Kick-Off Meeting where we provided an overview of Canstruction, reviewed this year’s program partners including Capital Area Food Bank and Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, and discussed how to navigate the step-by-step process of Canstruction now through Build Day and De-canstruction. If you were not able to attend the 2025 Kick-Off Meeting, please email [email protected] to request a link to the recording. For additional information about the step-by-step process and the 2025 Rules and Regulations, please review the 2025 Canstruction Northern Virginia Handbook.
Registration is now open!
Register your team by May 14, 2025, to participate in this year’s program. The order in which teams register will determine the order in which the teams will select their build location in the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. Please note, because of space limitations, a maximum of 10 teams can compete in the competition this year. If you are new to the competition and would feel more comfortable teaming up with another firm, please let us know at [email protected], and we will try to facilitate a match for you.
Be on the Lookout –
We are currently planning a tour of the Capital Area Food Bank’s new Lorton location. Please be on the lookout for more information about the tour so you can join us to see the new facility.
Below are a few impressive designs from last year’s teams. See more 2024 winners in our Canstruction recap blog post!
