Everyday Heroes: Behringer Harvard
Big Thought, a Dallas-based non-profit that provides creative learning programs, presented Behringer Harvard with anEveryday Heroes Award, honoring orgs and individuals that give their timeand talents to schools and community organizations dedicated to providing creative learning programs. This is the second year that Behringer Harvard and Big Thought have partnered to develop and co-sponsor the Cityville project, an after-school educational program that teaches students about CRE fundamentals. Participating students of Jerry R. Junkins Elementary School in Dallas have been involved in mock, ground-up development exercises mimicking real-world activities--forming an LLC, calculating project costs, and understanding government relationships, architectural design, and construction phases.
