You say you're running build 3006. In the EDU version, does Help > Check for Updates not show the 3014 hotfix:
http://www.graphisoft.com/support/archicad/downloads/ReleaseNotes/AC16-3006to3014-ReleaseNotes.html
Try updating to see if that resolves the crash.
Otherwise, it might (??) be because you are still running Snow Leopard? This page:
http://www.archicadwiki.com/ArchiCAD16#Compatibility
does say that 16 should run on 10.6 but also notes that Graphisoft did not test that version of OS X.
Other possibility... you didn't give the exact model ... but does your Macbook Pro graphics card have the option of 'switching' between mobile and high performance modes? If so, select high performance and see if that helps...
