One of the projects, Michael was involved with this summer was the $23 M, 20,000 SF Biological Research Laboratory on the Penn State University Park campus. Interning with OPP provided Michael the opportunity to work on a multitude of projects which includes utilities, new construction, and renovation work. The exposure to a multitude of projects over Michael’s summer internship has led to important experience which is applicable not only to his thesis project but the work force as well.
