Building the Future: Meet the 2026 Interns of Albert Kahn Associates
Albert Kahn Associates started with young voices willing to speak up. This summer, three interns brought that spirit to life: Olivia Thompson in Mechanical Engineering, Keon-Ho Lee in Architecture, and Isaiah Hilkemann in Electrical Engineering. From mastering Revit to contributing to real client projects, they've gotten a firsthand look at what it means to design for the world beyond the classroom. Meet the students helping shape the next chapter of the Kahn legacy.
